On August 1 at around 9:30 p.m., fire officials responded to the 2200 block of Douglas Street to find a heavy fire engulfing a vacant three-story home, according to initial reports. 

Firefighters rescued a caged dog in the back of the house and 10 residents nearby were displaced to ensure their safety from a potential collapse of the burning house, WTOP said.

About 100 crew members tended to the fire to ensure it did not spread and no injuries were reported, WTOP said.
