Just after 6:00am this morning, fire crews responded to 4515 21 Ave N.W. for a flood call. Upon arrival crews found three houses with more than a foot of water in their respective basements. The heavy volume of water undermined the foundation at 4515, which prompted the Heavy Rescue crew to be called in.
