Black Smoke Spotted Over Lincoln Memorial Causes Scare
Residents and visitors of D.C. were frightened after seeing a cloud of black smoke rise over the Lincoln Memorial on Friday morning.
The heavy black smoke above the National Mall stemmed from a vehicle fire five miles away in Arlington, Virginia.
Arlington Fire officials reported the fire resulted from a pickup truck catching fire on the George Washington Memorial Parkway.
The fire caused a significant delay for commuters, and there have been no reports of anyone being injured from the blaze.
