Whole Foods Market on 22 and I streets closed late Tuesday morning for D.C. Fire and EMS to respond to a pizza oven fire, a department spokesman said.
Doug Buchanan, the chief of communications for D.C. Fire and EMS, said units initially responded to a report of a structure fire and a “dark yellow smoke with an odor.”
After investigating whether roofers working on the building caused the smoke, the fire department found that the yellow smoke came from a burning pizza oven, Buchanan said. The fire did not spread outside of the pizza oven, he added.
Alexandra Agostini, a Whole Foods spokeswoman, said no one was injured.
The location was evacuated around 11:40 a.m. and reopened at 3:15 p.m., Agostini said.
