WOODBRIDGE, Va. — A four-alarm fire claimed two apartment buildings Thursday night in Woodbridge.
It’s not clear how many units were damaged by the blaze, how many people have been displaced, or what caused the fire at the Woodbridge Station Apartments.
We do know no one was injured, and that the fire is under investigation.
The blaze broke out about 6:45 p.m. on Eisenhower Circle in an apartment complex behind St. Thomas Aquinas Regional School. Dispatchers from Prince William County called in fire crews from Dale City and Manassas. When they arrived, crews said flames were shooting through the roof. Additional fire crews from Fairfax County were called to fight the blaze that by 8 p.m. had been brought under control.
With the majority of flames doused and smoke still rising, countless fire and rescue personele sat drenched in sweat gazing up at the burned out building. Support teams were handing out bottles of water to the fatigued firefighters.
Residents stood behind yellow tape, many wondering if it was there house that had went up in flames. The American Red Cross has been called to assist those who will be displaced by this fire.
Officials expect to update us when they know more about the actual number of people affected by the blaze, and if they have any idea what cause it.
