Heavy Fire Rips Through Upper Northwest Duplex |
|
|
|
February 18, 2007...Vito Maggiolo |
|
Two homes in upper Northwest
suffered heavy damage as fire raged through a large frame duplex on
Sunday morning, February 18th.
The box alarm assignment arrived
at 3907 McKinley Street N.W. to find heavy fire on the second floor
rear of the 2.5 story home with a similar attached structure on side
B.
The flames quickly spread into
the attic of the large house, and despite an intensive interior
attack, also ate their way into the attic of the B exposure.
As the blaze spread, a second
alarm was requested, and than two more engines and another truck to
fill the depleted staging area.
Three firefighters had to be
transported to area hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries as a
result of the battle to bring this fire under control.
