P.G. Working:

P.G.’s new chief takes in a job that appears to have multiple addresses.





News in the Washington, D.C. area is unique, as locations are sometimes identified by Google Maps and the U.S. Postal Service zip code system (I suppose asking a resident would be too much.) Such is the case of a 2-alarm job last night near FedEx field. An exterior fire extended up three floors before getting into the attic space and exposures. Crews did a great job in both knocking down the fire and extension.

Fire was in 37‘s first due.
