Two fires broke out within 24 hours of each other at the same service station in the Silver Hill area of Prince George’s County, fire officials said. The first occurred early Saturday morning, the second early Sunday morning.
Firefighters put out Saturday’s blaze at the All Tune and Lube at 4701 St. Barnabas Rd. within 10 minutes of arrival and reported the fire as accidental. After Sunday’s fire destroyed the building, investigators are looking into a possible link, said spokesman Mark Brady.
