The attendant at the Lukoil on the eastbound highway near the River Edge border doused the flames himself after the emergency cutoff switch engaged around 3 p.m. Wednesday, city firefighters said.

No one was injured, they said.

Firefighters remained at the station until a city building official arrived. Police were investigating.
