Car bursts into flames beside pumps at Sacramento gas station

It was a tense few moments at a Sacramento area gas station Friday morning after a car was engulfed in flames right next to the pumps.

The incident happened at the ARCO station near Arden Way and Exposition Boulevard.

A woman apparently pulled up to the gas station with smoke coming from her engine. The car then burst into flames.

Workers at the station first tried to use a fire extinguisher, but to no avail. The gas pumps were also shut off.

Firefighters arrived at the scene in minutes and put out the flames, which had by that time nearly engulfed most of the vehicle.

No injuries have been reported.
