Firefighters responded to the area to put out the gas-fed flames.
The injured Con Ed employee was treated at the scene and is expected to be okay.
It's currently unknown what exactly sparked the fire. But it all takes a spark to ignite the flammable gas. The metal tools will easily create the spark to ignite the gas.
