Thanks to Brooke for passing on:
“DC Riders,
We’d like to give you an update on our operations in DC.
We are suspending service for at least 30 days, complying with a DDOT order after informing them of an incident that occurred earlier today in our warehouse. There was a small fire in a storage area caused by a battery that had been previously removed from service. (more…)

DC Fire and EMS first reported at 2:34pm:
“#DCsBravest on scene of a structural collapse in the 1300 block 13th St NW. PIO enroute and will provide more information upon arrival.”
One reader speculates it was related to the F-35 fly by that happened around 2pm:
“It was super loud and I’m also pretty sure that the vibrations it was giving off (every building was shaking) contributed to the building collapse at 13/N NW. The building there was already super fragile and didn’t seem well supported for construction, and this was just the thing to push it.” (more…)
Wut? Thanks to Caitlin for sending this Truck-B-Que Friday around 5:45pm.
What are the odds?
“Dear PoPville,
Any idea what happened on the ellipse by the White House? When I walked by I saw a big fire, tons of smoke and a group of people standing around. It looked like a person of fire!? At the same time I hear police sirens and many showed up quickly. There must have been a fire truck too because the fire was quickly put on. The photo attached is right after it was put out. White House grounds were quickly closed down.”
Another reader reports: “Now hazmat pulling up at 15th and Constitution”
Update from U.S. Secret Service:
“At approximately 12:20 p.m. a man lit himself on fire on the Ellipse near 15th and Constitution Ave., Secret Service personnel are on scene assisting @NatlParkService and @usparkpolicepio in rendering first aid.”
