Photos: Deadly Fire on Quebec Place, NW
This afternoon I visited 1034 Quebec Place, where a massive fire claimed a life this morning. Firemen had a four-block area on lockdown. Pepco technicians were on every corner, assessing potential damage to the grid. Baleful neighbors watched the excavation and gave the professionals a wide berth. One woman told me that her daughter had called 911 before leaving for elementary school.

[D.C. Fire Spokesman Alan Etter didn't have much in the way of updates by C.O.B., except to say that families in the adjoining houses had been displaced and that neither he nor the MPD could identify the victim conclusively.*]
