investigators. they very quickly yellow taped off several blocks around this large home allowing no one in no one out, and began an extensive crime scene investigation. now, again, what you said, that we hear that three people are deceased. another person who is said to be in extremely, extremely condition, and right now the neighbors in the area say they don't know much other than there was a fire and that is why the crime scene investigators are here trying to determine what happened. we have someone from the mayor's office coming over, and we understand that both the mayor and chief lanier will speak in a few minutes. >> yacky, i'm curious, any information bt the age of the victims? has that information come to you? >> jim, we do not know the age

of the victims, however, i did talk just a short time ago to a man who say thass that he believes that his brother was at this house earlier today, his brother works for the cleaning company, and he says that he has been trying to get his brother on the phone, and trying to contact him, but he says that his brother is in his 20s, so unclear if that man is one of the vicktims, and that is what everybody is trying to sort out right now. >> jackie bensen thank you. and our team coverage continues with megan fitzgerald. >> yes, we have been out here throughout the day since the house fire started just after 1:00 and lately and most recent ly ly, we have been seeing the fire trucks leaving the area, and if you are going to see behind me n is an area that is cordoned off, and police are still here, and the ambulance still on the scene as they have turned it into a criminal investigation. we want the show you the video shot earlier. this is the scene at 1:30 this

afternoon. first neighbors said they smelled smoke and then saw the flames coming out of the roof. neighbors watched in horror but it was a long time housekeeper who worked for the family for more than two decades who was in tears. she did not want to go on camera, but she says when she heard about the fire she came over right away. >> i can't talk that much, because i hope they are okay. because, you know, this family means a lot to me. vera is the housekeeper that stays overnight. agot a call last night at 10:00 last night and i know she spent the night and i am 100% she was inside with them. >> and now the woman says she believes that there was a cleaning crew inside of the home at the time but she did not

know for sure, and she is obviously broken up, but she has been with the family for more than 20 years, and even raised one of the children since they were a toddler she is a tells us, so obviously, difficult for her, and we were out here speaking with the other neighbors anxious to get the answers. they wanted to know what was going on and who was being taken out on the stretchers, and we don't have those answers yet. this is a developing investigation, but what we do know as we have been reporting that we have konconfirmed that the three people are dead and one person in critical condition, and again, we are awaiting a press conference, and hopefully we will be getting more information but as always, we encourage the folks to download the nbc4 washington app to get the latest information, back to you. >> and megan, what do we know about when the firefighters realized they had more than a fire on their hands? >> well, that is a good question. so the fire started and the call came in at 1:15, and we started to see the police arrive at 2:00, and that is when they were aggressive and asked us to move

out and set up the perimeter and then it was about maybe two hours after the fire that we saw the police chief arrive on scene so that is when we knew that we had a serious situation on our hands. >> all right. megan fitzgerald we hear that there is a news conference about to start with the police chief. >> and the mayor as well. they are both scheduled to speak at this point. the mayor is a approaching the podium now, and the police chief is right behind her. they of course have an interest in this and any time there is a situation like that, and neighborhood such as this, it is considered a high profile incident if you will and here now is mayor bouser. >> i am here the to provide you with the latest information that we have about a fire on woodland drive in northwest washington, d.c. in ward three.

at approximately 1:30 p.m. we got a call about a fire on woodland drive. the d.c. fire and emergency is management service, emergency medical service responded to that fire. it was a one-alarm fire. upon our personnel entering the house on woodland drive to extinguish the fire they discovered four victims in the house. we know that there are three adult victims and one child victim. our chief is here who will provide you with an update on the fire department's response to the scene. it will be followed by chief cathy lanier who will give the update on the police department's efforts at the scene. this incident is now being investigated by the joint arson task force which is made up of

our fire department and the police department and alcohol, tobacco and fire department. so i want to turn it over now to chief baker who will let you know about the fire department's response, and followed by chief lanier lanier, and then we will take questions. >> craig. >> this afternoon the fire department and the ems was dispatched to the address on woodland drive with report of smoke coming from the house, and we arrive edd to find smoke coming from the second floor. they the initiated a firefighters effort in that area of the house, and at the same time they extended a search of the house for a possible victims, and located four on the second level of the home and it took 30 minutes to get the fire completely under control.

>> obviously, it is early, and i will tell you everything that i can tell you, but there is going to be a little time to to get some answer, because when the investigation begins, you have to make sure that the fire is out, and the house is safe for the investigation to go on. i cannot comment on the evidence, and we will comment on the evidence as we get them. we were notified by the fire department and when they responded for the fire at 1:30 this afternoon they did find four deceased persons inside of the home. once we arrived at the scene, trying to look at all of the factors of involved here, we still have not gone through the extensive evidence collection process and not a lot of information at this point, but not a lot of signs of forced spry, but the origin of the fire is suspicious, and that is why the metropolitan police

department and the joint arson task force has taken over the investigation, and we are asking for information from the public, and so we know that there is a porche 2008 blue porche 911 that was last seen at this home this morning at 10:30 and it has not been seen since, and so we have now located that car but if anybody has seen that 2008 blue porche 911 with the d.c. tags that is dk-2418, please give us a call at 202-277-0999. and we have a team of officers going throughout the neighborhood knocking on doors. we understand that there is a lot of residents trying to find out what happened and want to know some reassurance and what

that there was an ignition source throughout the house, and hit of gasoline throughout the house? >> i won't comment on the evidence specifically. >> and can you tell the us -- >> well, i won't comment on the evidence and the fact that we have the arson task force here is obvious that we think it is suspicious in nature, but i won't comment on anything specific. >> and can you comment on what would indicate anything other than smoke inhalation in nature. >> it is extremely early to comment on anything like that, and right now we don't have anything like that and it will take a little while to get answers ss like that. >> do you noeknow if they were all in the same room? >> and do you know if there was a call placed -- >> i am not aware of any. right now, we are investigating and the arson task force and the major investigation here but we don't have answers to any of the questions, so give us time to
