Firefighter Hospitalized in Massive House Fire in Northwest DC

-

A member of the DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) was injured and three residents were displaced after a fire broke out in a massive Northwest DC mansion early Wednesday.

The two-alarm fire was the third fire and the second multiple alarm fire of the night, DC Fire and EMS Chief John Donnelly said in a tweet.

The fire took place at a historic three-story house with five bedrooms on 31st Street Northwest, which is under renovation. The five-bedroom building’s estimated value is around $8 million.

The blaze was visible from across the city in Dupont, and destroyed one home and damaged two others, according to Donnelly.

More than 70 responded to the scene and one firefighter was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. No other injuries were reported.

“Very proud of #DCsBravest hard work today,” the DC Fire Chief wrote.
