A few readers have emailed and tweeted about a plume of smoke visible in NE. @dcfireems tweeted:
“Update – 2200blk 33rd St NE – large truck & propane tank on fire, extinguishing fire, hazmat unit requested #DCFD”
“UPDATE: fire knocked down. no inj reported. #dctraffic”
A reader reports:
“happened around 1130pm, last night. completely out of the blue, car glitch? Arson? Owners of the car don’t seem to be around.”
Ah the famed Car-b-que. Been a while since we’ve seen one. Reason always seems to be a mystery. Though I’m sure some may suspect an accelerator problem…
Another reader sends the after photo:
A reader on the ground reports just after 1:30pm:
“The focus of fire-fighting efforts is a row house on the east side of Georgia Avenue, just south of Quincy – next door to the Petworth Market. I saw no flames or smoke, but ladders and hoses deployed in front and behind that building. Traffic on Georgia Avenue is blocked in both direction between New Hampshire and Quincy. Fire vehicles occupy the street.”

“@PoPville, any news on the car fire at the intersection of H and 8th NE last night?”
First I’m hearing of it, but props to the lady unphased at the ATM!
