From an email sent to a local listserv last night:
As the Ward 5 Liaison from the Mayor's Office of Community Relations & Services, I am currently on the scene of a fire on the 1000th block of 16th Street, [NE]. Along with FEMS and other District government agencies, we are helping displaced residents locate housing and services.
Please see the alert below and avoid the area. If you are in the area, please listen to first responders as they clear the scene. I will update the community once the scene has been cleared.
