Scenes from today's working fire in the 200 Block of Elm St. NW. This was a labor intensive operation due to "balloon frame" construction, which allows flames to quickly spread inside walls from basement to attic. pic.twitter.com/HM4pTnApwO

Elm St fire result of combustibles stored too close to furnace. Smoke detectors missing or inoperative. DO NOT store combustibles where they can contact heat sources. Test smoke detectors. Call 311 if you need them, & we will come & install. pic.twitter.com/87jIiAFzvX
