A firefighter was taken for treatment with minor injuries, Knight said.
Firefighters were able to knock out the blaze but were still extinguishing hot spots, D.C. Fire said. The fire that affected neighbors' homes on either side of the rowhouse was also put out.
Four adults, two children and a dog were displaced. The Red Cross is assisting them, Knight said.
There isn’t information yet on what may have caused the fire to start.
