Crews battle gas station fire in Ballston Spa

VIDEO: Emergency crews responded to a fire at the USA Gas station at the intersection of Routes 67 and 50 in Ballston Spa on Friday. The fire broke out just after 10:30 a.m. โ€œWe had our triannual inspections with DEC about a week and a half, two weeks ago and we passed. They came and checked every pump and all the tanks and all the sumps,โ€ said Erin Ozbay, one of the owners. Route 67, Route 50, and Ballston Avenue were all closed during the fire operation but have since reopened. The Saratoga County Sheriffโ€™s Office stated that several people were minorly injured, but no serious injuries were reported. โ€œThereโ€™s two other gas stations right next to us, everythingโ€™s on the ground,โ€ explained Ozbay. โ€œYou never know, yโ€™know? So Iโ€™m just thankful that the fire department put it under control and everyoneโ€™s okay.โ€
