“Dear PoPville,
The ATF has released their report on the Arthur Capper Fire at the senior home in Navy Yard a few months ago. To say the findings are disturbing is an understatement.
· Investigators ruled out electrical or other mechanical causes of the fire, saying it was likely the result of human activity in the attic.
· There was clear evidence someone tried to put the fire out with a garden house from the roof just after it started. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
There was a devastating fire on 24th St NE in Kingman Park yesterday morning that displaced 5 households on the block, three of those had their homes completely destroyed. Thankfully, no one was injured in the fire. The neighborhood is banding together to raise relief funds for those families.”
Britton reports:
“This old Mustang caught fire in the middle of 9th St NW near Quintana NW in Brightwood. Burned to the ground. This morning about 8:30am.”

UPDATE from Red Rocks:
“We are very thankful for the brave first responders @DCfireems and @DCPoliceDept who quickly took control of the situation and extingushed a fire that ignited on our roof deck last night. Their work minimized a fire that not only could have been devastating for RedRocks but also our neighbors on 13th Street. We are grateful that no one was injured and are very appreciative of the support received from our loyal customers, friends and neighbors in the H Street community. We are working hard to clean up the mess and hope to reopen real soon. Thank you for all the emails, messages, and continued support.
RedRocks”
