Shortly after 4 p.m. on Feb. 27, officials say that DC Fire and EMS personnel were called to a home in the 3500 block of Ely Place SE, when a rapidly-moving fire broke out and spread throughout the residence.
Crews were able to knock down the flames, though two dogs were treated at the scene by the Human Rescue Alliance, and a firefighter was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Firefighters remained at the home after the dogs were shipped off to continue corralling any hot spots or flare-ups.
No information about the dogs' condition was available late on Tuesday morning.
Officials said that one resident was displaced, and the Red Cross has been notified to assist.
The cause and origin of the fire remain under investigation.
