A small but smoky blaze in the Dupont Circle area was quickly extinguished on Friday evening, March 9th.

Firefighters arrived to find smoke filling the basement of a row building at 1514 21st Street N.W. Fortunately, sprinklers had activated and confined the flames to a stuffed chair.

There was no further extension, and a search of the building proved negative.
