Burning Smell Blamed on Quantico Brush Fire

QUATNICO, Va. — What’s that burning smell? Officials at Quantico said it’s a brush fire crews are working to contain.

More from the Marine Corps Base:

Quantico Fire Department and Emergency Rescue Services responded to a fire crawling through the woods in Training Area 11 on the west side of Marine Corps Base Quantico on April 9, 2013.

The affected area was too large to extinguish outright so emergency responders limited the spread of the fire by bulldozing a “no burn” zone around it. After the zone had been crafted, firefighters fought fire with fire by “back-burning”, a controlled burn designed to rob the fire of fuel so it can be managed safely.

An official with the Prince William County Fire and Rescue Department on Wednesday attributed the burning smell to the brush fire.
