fire

I always enjoy checking out the logos when I pass fire stations. I often give props to the cops but don’t get the opportunity to recognize firefighters as often. So, I’ll feature their logos from time to time as very small token of gratitude. Well, we might as well judge them too – which do you like better in Vol. 1 – Chinatown (above) or Capitol Hill (below)?

“Dear PoP,

There was a terrible fire on 5100 block of 7th St NW Saturday night (just south of Hamilton). DCFD had the flames that were in the rear of the house out quickly. They appeared to rescue a few people from the home. We didn’t know the family; hope everybody got out safely.”
