    A devastating fire engulfed a three-storey historic mansion on Tuesday morning in an affluent Kalorama neighbourhood of northwest Washington, DC, situated near former President Barack Obama’s residence.The DC Fire and EMS Department reported that the incident necessitated local evacuations and substantial emergency services. They noted that a separate accidental electrical fire had occurred at the same property on Monday night, as per Fox news.The property, which was vacant and undergoing renovations at the time, was a 1928 English Manor. According to public records, the six-bedroom, 5½-bathroom residence was recently acquired for $8.575 million last month.The initial Monday fire was limited to one floor and required minimal response. However, Tuesday’s incident intensified into a two-alarm fire, requiring “defensive operation using large outside streams,” as stated by the fire department.The response involved approximately 20 vehicles and 100 firefighters tackling flames that consumed all floors. Adjacent properties were evacuated as a safety measure.Officials confirmed that “there was a mayday that was resolved with the firefighter safe and uninjured.”According to FOX5 DC and DC Fire and EMS Chief John Donnelly, one firefighter fell into a lift shaft but was swiftly rescued and taken to hospital for precautionary checks.By late morning, the fire was contained with no additional injuries reported. Fire investigators continue to examine the cause of Tuesday’s incident.
