MOUNT PLEASANT
Fire Reignites at Church Damaged in Blaze
Smoke began wafting from the rubble inside Meridian Hill Baptist Church yesterday, a week after a fire at an apartment building next door spread to the church in the city's first five-alarm blaze in nearly three decades.
The fire rekindled briefly, said Alan Etter, spokesman for D.C. Fire and Emergency Medical Services. Crews quickly extinguished it.
The fire March 13 displaced about 200 people who were living at 3145 Mount Pleasant St. NW. The cause has not been determined.
