Early this morning our members in the 4th Battalion responded for the apartment fire on Hiatt Pl NW in the Columbia Heights section of the city. This is the most densely populated area in the city and apartment fires pose great risk to the occupants. Our members extinguished the fire quickly keeping that risk at a minimum. Units stayed on scene for several hours removing smoke and overhauling the scene. Raw video footage from DC Fire And EMS
