One person has been seriously injured after a kiosk near the Lincoln Memorial burst into flames.

DC Fire and EMS said a one alarm fire involving a propane tank at a concession stand along Lincoln Memorial Circle broke out around 7 a.m. on Thursday.

A unidentified adult male has been flown to an area trauma center with serious non life threatening injuries.
