Jane sends along these pics and reports…

This afternoon, shortly before 3:00, a fire broke out at the Chevron station at North Decatur and Clairmont Roads.  Reports were that a car had driven away with the pump nozzle still in the gas tank.  The hose snapped, and a fire started almost immediately.  It looked like Dekalb County sent every fire truck in the area, along with EMS.  Two City of Decatur trunks responded early, but left as Dekalb County began to arrive in force.  There were no immediate reports of injury.  The fire was extinguished within ten minutes of fire department arrival.  Traffic, of course, was snarled.
