Four D.C. firefighters were hurt fighting a blaze at a large house in Northwest Thursday night.
Two firefighters have heat-related injuries and two have minor injuries, D.C. Fire and EMS said in a tweet.
The house sits on a hill on the 2900 block of Woodland Drive, which posed difficulty for firefighters to access. The fire was in the walls and attic of the two-story house.
