Dispatched shortly after 18:00 hrs, Engine 16 went for the reported auto at 12th & Rhode Island Ave., N.W.

The call was quickly upgraded to a Special Operations Local as several callers reported a trolley bus heavily involved with fire.

Engine 16 made the initial attack and knock down on the bus and was assisted by Engines 4 & 9.  There were no injuries reported, the bus had no one  aboard other than the driver.  The fire was believed to be started from a leaking propane tank used to fuel the bus. Related Video Clip
