An intense fire broke out Sunday night in a brick rowhouse on one of the principal thoroughfares in the District’s Adams-Morgan neighborhood.

The fire was reported about 9:30 p.m. in the 1800 block of Calvert Street NW. Flames leaped for a time from the top of the three story-and-basement house.

The DC fire department said the fire was brought under control and no injuries were reported. It was not immediately clear if adjoining houses were damaged.
