 "Massive fire guts historic $8.6 million mansion near Obama’s home in Washington DC")
A massive fire broke out early Tuesday morning at a historic mansion in Washington, DC’s upscale Kalorama neighborhood, leading to large-scale evacuations and a major emergency response.
The three-story English manor-style house was reportedly under renovation. It is located right behind the home of Barack Obama, drawing extra public attention to the incident.
The blaze started around 6 am on the 2400 block of Kalorama Road, just hours after firefighters had put out a smaller fire at the same home the night before.
According to a report from Fox5, the first fire broke out around 9:30 pm on Monday and was limited to the first floor. DC Fire and EMS Chief John Donnelly said it was caused by an electrical issue.
But by Tuesday morning, a second, much larger fire broke out, quickly turning into a two-alarm emergency. The flames spread through the entire building, and about 125 firefighters and 30 units were called in to fight the blaze.
During the response, one firefighter fell into an elevator shaft, triggering a mayday alert. He was rescued by fellow firefighters and taken to the hospital as a precaution, Donnelly said.
