Fire at Tiber Island

There was a fire this morning around 10AM on the second floor of the north tower of Tiber Island (430 M Street). DC EMS reported this morning via Twitter that one person was transported to the hospital for a check-up and a dog was taken to an animal hospital, presumably for smoke inhalation. Reader SS was on the scene this morning and took a photo of the aftermath from across the street at Waterfront Station. No additional details are available at this time about the extent of damage at Tiber Island. If any residents of Tiber Island have more details, please let me know. Thanks!

Fire Trucks Kept Busy This Weekend

First, WUSA (from DCist) reports that there was a fire at 1200 Delaware Avenue on early Sunday morning. From the article:
A 66-year-old man was taken to the hospital in critical condition after being rescued from a fire that broke out in his apartment. The man was brought down a ladder from his fifth floor unit 1200 Delaware Avenue SW around 4:00 Sunday morning. He suffered from severe smoke inhalation.
The early Sunday morning fire is believed to be accidental, but an investigation is underway. I walked right by that apartment building yesterday afternoon and noticed some broken glass on the sidewalk and a window screen dangling from the fence, but I didn't realize the debris was due to a fire. Then, last evening, I noticed quite a few fire trucks on the 200 block of G Street. However, I didn't investigate to see which building might have been on fire, since I was running late for dinner. Does anyone know if there was a fire last evening around the 200 block of G Street?
