Baffled firefighters mingled with baffled nightclub goers at 10th and J Streets on Friday evening, about 10 p.m.. Someone called in a fire, but there was no fire in sight. "This is 1009 10th Street," offered a nightclub doorman. "1009? We're looking for 1001," said a fireman. But there was no such address.
No smoke, no flames, but the nightclub crowd was growing by the minute.
Who would have an incentive to call in a false alarm? There was one woman on the sidewalk who seemed to have an incentive: "Hose me down, baby! These firemen are HOT!"
Dramatic faceoff: Fire engine faces west on J Street; everyone else faces east.
Some of the fire engines regrouped on 10th Street between F and G Streets, where they busied themselves for a few minutes ousting a homeless person from a doorway. Still, no flames.
