“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…

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.”
