Rowhouse Collapse In Shaw Neighborhood

May 15, 2006...Alan Etter

Dispatched at 13:53, this structure collapse alarm evolved into a full-blown cave-in task force.  A two-story brick middle of the row house came loose from its foundation and collapsed into the home on the B side, causing considerable damage. 

The building is in the 1200 block of New Jersey Ave., NW, just across N St. from Engine 6.  No injuries were reported, but several people were displaced.
