I am just leaving the scene on Barracks Row & tonight’s massive fire. I’ve spoken with several of the businesses. Everyone is accounted for but extreme damage to multiple buildings. Amazing work by DC fire fighters to stop even worse spread. They’ll be here a good while longer.

Watch: 24 minutes condensed to one. As the two-alarm fire grew in DC, the storm moved in. This is from 8:04 to 8:28 pm. And, as usual, the dedicated soccer players in South Arlington played right through it. @ARLnowDOTcom @NFTC_News @councilofdc @dcfireems @capitalweather @HillaryHowardDC @matthewyoung31 #weather #arlingtonva #soccernews
