Original Post
A fire ripped through a home in the 15000 block of Holleyside Drive on Thursday.
Crews were called to the home in Montclair about 2 p.m. Flames were seen shooting through the roof and a 2nd alarm was called. However, crews on the scene were able to bring the blaze under control and then put it out, negating the need for the second alarm, said Prince William fire and rescue Battalion Chief Curtis Brodie.
The residents of the house were displaced. Brodie said no major injuries were reported.
Investigators are looking into the cause of the fire.
