Narrative
Washington gas responded to the scene of a house fire at 4905 minnesota avenue, ne, washington, dc on 9/5/10 at the request of the dc fire board. Upon arrival, the first reponder found that the gas had been turned off at the curb valve by the fire department. The inside meter build-up was consumed by the fire. The service line was capped off at the curb valve. A gas migration survey was conducted around the house and over the service line to the main. No indications were found. Washington gas worked closely with the fire investigators on site and believe that the fire started on the first or second floor and they then collapsed into the basement where the washington gas facilities were located and consumed by the fire.
