“Dear PoPville,
Does anyone know what happened to the What the Pho? food truck at Farragut today? Several fire engines on the scene, but no signs of a fire from the outside.”

@IAFF36 tweets:
“Update/final: 3700 blk Georgia Ave NW. Had fire in the duct work. Fire is out. All searches negative.”
Reader TML took these amazing photos and writes:
“The engines arrived around 8:30 this morning. No one was injured, and the fire was under control very quickly. We have lived across the street from the Sweet Mango now at the Park Place apartments, for two years…and this is the third time we’ve seen Sweet Mango on fire. Kinda leaves one speechless…”
In Dec. 2010 a fire closed Sweet Mango for nearly three months. Thanks to all who sent word about today’s fire.
@IAFF36 tweeted these incredible photos from last night’s fire in Trinidad:
“Building Fire – 1375 Mt Olivet Rd NE (Webb Elem School) – 2-story educational, heavy fire showing, WORKING FIRE”
@IAFF36 tweets the wild photo above:
“In case you missed it: This is what your #DCFD firefighters encountered on 15th St NE”
Props to DC’s bravest!
Also major props for a 2nd fire they fought on Saturday:
“U/D 475 Orange St. SE – E25 makes 5 rescues via ground ladders/2FF’sw/ minor injuries trans. To hosp./ fire is out/”

Thanks to all who’ve sent word. One reader sends photos and writes:
“Not sure what happened but pretty crazy fire above Mid City Fish Market at 14 and P in Logan around 8:35.”
More info as it becomes available.
Sent just before midnight last night from a reader on Hobart St just west of. Mt. Pleasant Street:
“Looks like no one was inside/no one harmed. Firetrucks arrived and are working on putting it out.”
A reader writes in wondering what will happen to the property at 1327 Girard St, NW which was decimated by fire on May 4th. Does anyone know what happens now? Any idea how long the process will take before a new property is built?
Thanks to a reader for sending. She writes:
“The rubble and smoke next to our new home. Our place and kitty are ok.”
More after photos I took this afternoon after the jump. (more…)
