The Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection was an attack on the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., to disrupt the joint session of Congress that had assembled to count electoral votes that would make official the presidential election victory of Joe Biden over Donald Trump. Pro-Trump protestors breached the U.S. Capitol and occupied the building for several hours after lawmakers and staff evacuated the premises. Five people died in incidents related to the insurrection.
DC Fire & EMS produced a video documenting the fire and EMS response to the event.
