| VIDEO: Dozens without a home after hot inferno burns at Northeast DC apartment building Nearly two dozen residents in D.C.'s Eckington neighborhood are without a home after a massive fire engulfed an apartment building in Northeast overnight Monday, authorities said. The flames also damaged nearby homes. Firefighters were called to an apartment fire in the 300 block of Seaton Place NE just after midnight, D.C. Fire and EMS said. When fire crews arrived, heavy orange flames were shooting from the roof and both levels of the building, firefighters said. Those strong flames traveled from the building across an alley about 10 feet away to neighboring row homes. Thern Hill-El who lives next door to the building took cellphone video of the fire from his window. The video captures the moments the fire jumped from the alley to a car.
