Mt. Pleasant fire

March 13, 2008, 1-2:30am...
This apartment building fire happened early this morning about three blocks from my house. Thanks to an alert housemate of mine I was able to secure a good vantage point and take these photos over the course of an hour or so as the firefighters slowly got this thing (DC's first five-alarm fire in about 30 years according to the WaPo) under control.
From Councilmember Jim Graham:
"This horrendous fire affected six buildings including the Meridian Hill Baptist Church. About 200 people have been displaced... Low-income residents were most affected. Neighbors' Consejo is taking food and clothing donations at 3118 16th St, NW. Please consider making a donation. You can reach Evar Sandoval at (202) 234-6855 for more details."
It also appears that monetary donations are being collected at Pfeiffer's Hardware.
