Stafford County, Va. –– Two house fires kept rescue crews in Stafford County busy overnight.
Crews were called to a blaze at 240 Marlborough Point Road in the Aquia District about 1:46 a.m.
As they arrived on the scene, most of the house except the garage was fully involved in flames.
The two occupants of the home had made it out safely, and crews then went to work to extinguish the blaze, said Stafford County fire and rescue spokesman Mark Doyle.

Crews were able to save the garage portion of the home with two cars inside, its contents valued at $100,000, said Doyle.
