Flames were reported just before 6:00 a.m. Sunday at the convenience store, located on the 6600 block of Ridge Avenue.
The Wawa, which is not yet open for business, is right across the street from the 5th Police District, which shares a building with Philadelphia Fire Department Truck 30. Firefighters literally ran across the street to fight the fire.
The fire originated inside the rear of the building. So far, there is no word on a cause.
