Fire on H Street Early this AM
A building in the lower portion of the 1200 block of H Street was on fire just before 1am this morning. H Street was closed from the 1100 block through the 1300 block.

It looked like extensive damage when I rode by this morning. This is the building between the Ice House and Stella Blu. I believe it was empty.
That explains it. I walked by on my way to work this morning and saw construction crews and a bulldozer in there. Thought we might be getting a new addition to the H! oh well.
I'm speculating here, but I beleive there was already construction taking place in that building and maybe someone left some heat going. I would be surprised if a new construction crew were already on the scene less than 12 hrs after a major fire there, but I could be wrong if anyone can clarify.
The fire was at 1204 H St the Philadelphia Water Ice and The Kids Boutique & SPA. The shed in the rear caught on fire due to a homeless guy living in the there. Noone was hurt but there was damage to both of the businesses. The owner said she will be close until construction is complete. The building that looks like extensive damage is 1206 which was already like that for years but you could not tell because it had a rolling grate on it.When the Fire men came they had to gain access from 1206 causing them to cut open that rolling grate, leaving it exposed. So there is NO NEW CONSTRUCTION GOING ON!
