There have been three trash receptacle fires in the last four weeks in the same alley behind a section of 3rd Street SE, WJLA reports. A string of fires like that in the same location makes it tough to speculate that a carelessly tossed cigarette butt might be to blame; odds are some pyro is setting the bins ablaze. So far, no buildings have become victims of the flames, but residents over there are understandably a bit freaked that eventually, one of these fires can and will spread. Fire officials are investigating, and asking the public to keep an eye out. Trash can and dumpster fires are no joke, folks.

They must be stopped before they burn down Cap Lounge... again.
Or Eastern Market.
hope they catch the perp(s). this is horribly serious stuff.
Molly?
How about putting motion sensor lights in that alley with cams? It'll cost less than the potential damage on home properties and lives.
"Trash can and dumpster fires are no joke, folks. "
I love the insinuation that it must have been one your readers that did it.
I've got a dumpster fire...IN MY PANTS. I blame that 7-11 Breakfast Big Bite with chili, onions, and cheese. And Peter Nickles.
I agree. Just what do you mean by that statement Sommer?
Are you hiding something? Are there secrets you are trying to get rid of?
Don't talk down to us, we may go to WTOP to comment.
Well, you do admit (routinely) to having various items in your pants, so maybe the secret is there?
The police would be well-advised to search the perimeter for telltale scorched toiletpaper tubes and flaming rodent remains.
I think the implication is that either the commenters won't take this seriously, or that we'll make this into yet another form of snarkbait. But it's just way too hot to be funny today.
"There have been three trash receptacle fires in the last four weeks in the same alley ..."
How would you like a massive 75,000 acre wildfire like this one in California?
I liked Wildfire better when it was a bad '70s song.
Leave sodbusting behind, Liz.
