The DC Water and Sewer Authority (DC WASA), in co-operation with District Fire and EMS, is undertaking a thorough review of the circumstances associated with last nights fire at the Cooper Cafritz Mansion on Chain Bridge Road. A report on the findings will be released at the completion of the investigation, by both agencies, into the operations, equipment and water supply in the area at the time of the fire.
