June 29,2007...Vito Maggiolo

D.C. firefighters had to come to the aid of their own after a small fire broke out in the kitchen of Engine 26 and Truck 15's firehouse.

The incident took place late Thursday morning, June 29th, while both units were out of quarters engaged at the scene of a working fire on 2nd Street N.W.

Flames broke out on the firehouse stove and spread slightly to the kitchen wall before they were quickly extinguished by a box alarm assignment sent to the station at 1340 Rhode Island Avenue N.E.
