Firefighters are currently battling a multiple-home fire on the 700 block of Albemarle in Oregon Hill.

Word is it’s pretty intense at the moment. The cause of the fire hasn’t been announced yet, but rumblings among the crowd have suggested a couch on a porch caught on fire or a telephone wire sparked. Obviously nothing is confirmed yet.

Update:

From OregonHill.net :

Mojos (corner of laurel and cary) is a drop of spot for anything anyone wants to help with. Clothes (will update shortly with sizes), blankets, books, movies anything that can help is appreciated.
