A massive vehicle explosion caught on camera rocked a parking lot in a major Washington, D.C., suburb Thursday. 

Arlington Fire & EMS in Virginia took to Facebook to confirm the intense explosion. They stated it was due to a “BLEVE (boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion)” caused by the rupture of a fuel tank.

The car exploded in the Crystal City neighborhood of Arlington, located roughly five miles south of D.C., according to photos posted by the Fire Department. The explosion charred at least three other vehicles in its vicinity.

“Firefighters arrived on scene and quickly extinguishing [sic] the fire,” the Fire Department wrote. “There were no injuries to firefighters or the public. Fire Marshals have deemed the incident non-suspicious and are investigating the cause.

“Please leave car fires to the professionals as things like this can occur. Get out, stay clear, and call for help!”

On June 29, another massive vehicle blaze made headlines in Arlington when a delivery truck went up in flames.
