About two years in the making, the DC Fire & EMS Department issued its internal review of a fire at 619 & 621 4th Street, NE that injured four firefighters. The 100-page report takes a detailed look at why the firefighters became trapped on the second floor of a rowhouse and were forced to bail out through the fire to safety.
STATter911.com received the report in November, but only this week was able to secure a digital copy to share with you.
Along with the report, we have streamed a video tour of the fire buildings and a discussion of preliminary findings. This video was recorded in the months immediately after the fire occurred. Chief Dennis Rubin hosts and narrates the 42-minute long video.
You will also find a link to the video shot during the fire by DC Fire & EMS Department photographer Vito Maggiolo.
We are occasionally contacted by people around the country looking for copies of two previous internal reports by the DC Fire & EMS Department. Below you will find links to the 1999 fire that killed Firefighter Louis Matthews and Firefighter Anthony Phillips and the 1997 fire that took the life of Sgt. John Carter.
