Fire Engulfs Historic D.C. Firehouse Undergoing Renovation

Adjacent building in new development also heavily involved, no injuries reported.

A fire broke out in a historic former firehouse in Washington D.C. that was undergoing renovation.
The fire may have been fueled by a gas line and was well along by the time firefighters arrived.
An adjacent four-story building that is part of a new development was also heavily involved in the fire.
No injuries were reported, but several adjacent homes were evacuated as a precaution.
The former firehouse, a District historic landmark, was built in 1896 and had been vacated by the fire department in 1987.
