December 28, 2015: By Vito Maggiolo (DCFD.com)
The final week of 2015 began with a working house fire in the 3rd Battalion on Monday morning, December 28th.
Units arrived at 2801 Pomeroy Road SE shortly after 8:30 AM to find fire in a two-story end of row dwelling.
The blaze involved the basement and had already extended to the first floor, and a working fire dispatch was requested.
A coordinated attack on both levels was able to bring the flames under control relatively quickly, and all searches proved negative.
