The cause of a fire in the Hidden Springs neighborhood has been determined. A fire destroyed a home situated on the hills by a wide section of Aquia Creek on April 16.
Stafford County fire and rescue crews got the call that morning for a fire at 54 Shady Lane in Stafford. That area doesn’t have hydrant service, so three tanker trucks were also called in.
The cause was determined to be food left on the stove, said Stafford County Fire & Rescue Assistant Chief Mark Doyle.
