Seven people
made it safely out of their burning D.C. home on Thursday, March 1st,
despite flames blazing in the attic overhead.
The fire erupted in the pre-dawn hours at 424 Hamilton Street N.W., an
occupied two-story row dwelling. First arriving firefighters found heavy
fire in the cockloft and threatening to extend into the adjacent houses.
A second alarm was quickly requested.
An aggressive interior attack confined the blaze primarily to the
structure of origin. |
