Fire and rescue in Lake Ridge were called to a 2-alarm blaze at 2:44 a.m. Tuesday.
Here’s more in a press release:
Occoquan-Woodbridge-Lorton Volunteer Firefighters responded to the report of a townhouse fire in Lake Ridge. Crews located the fire at 12247 Ivy League Court within minutes and reported smoke from the back of the townhouse. Crews had difficulty entering the home due to the amount of furniture and household items inside the home. Entry was not possible from the front door. As a result, a second alarm was called.
Entry was gained from the back of the home and crews reported heavy smoke and fire due to the volume of material, making fighting the fire more difficult. Fire was knocked down approximately 20 minutes later and contained to that townhouse unit. Crews remained on scene for several hours.
The blaze is under investigation by the Prince William County Fire Marshal’s Office. American Red Cross was called and assisted the occupants with temporary housing.
Fire and Rescue units from OWL VFD, Dale City VFD, PWCDF&R, Dumfries-Triangle VFD, Fairfax and PWCPD responded to the incident.
