Stafford County Fire and Rescue: "At 10:20 P.M. on Tuesday, July 4th, units with Stafford County Fire and Rescue (SCFR) were dispatched for a reported structure fire [behind Colonial Forge High School] in the 00 block Smelters Trace Road, near the intersection of Millrace Road and Woodcutters Road, reported by multiple callers."
"First arriving units marked on scene approximately five minutes later and reported heavy fire from the roof and side of a two-story single-family home. Additionally, the fire spread to involve an adjacent single-family home. Crews switched to defensive firefighting tactics due to the structure being unstable, and a second alarm was struck, bringing additional resources to the scene. The fire was brought under control in approximately 20 minutes."
