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.”

Currently, the F&EMS Cadet Program has 31 trainees who began in October and are expected to complete their training in September.
