From Prince William County Fire Marshal Matt Smolksy:Â Yesterday evening units were dispatched to the 13000 block of Andorra Drive (Dale City) for reports of a vehicle crashing into the home with fire.
Crews arrived with the structure fully involved. Quick efforts helped to knock the fire down but the fire was being fed from a ruptured natural gas line caused by the vehicle striking the home.
It was several hours before the gas could be isolated and secured. Luckily, all of the home’s occupants were able to safely escape the home. One of the adult occupants was transported for medical evaluation but was later released.Â
One firefighter was transported and treated for exhaustion. The structure was totally destroyed. The displaced 5 adults and 5 children are being assisted by the Red Cross.
The Fire Marshal’s Office has confirmed the fire was ignited when the vehicle crashed through the backyard and struck the home’s gas meter/line. PD did charge the driver with DUI and several other charges.

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:
After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
