Those needing to reach properties along Antioch Road will have access; however, traffic will not be able to go beyond the point of pipe replacement (just south of Waterfall Road) in either direction.
Units were called to the 5000 block of Fishers Hill Way (Haymarket) when an occupant smelled smoke and observed flames from his attic.
Crews arrived with a working fire in the attic. Within 10 minutes the fire was under control. The home sustained moderate damage and no injuries were reported.
After the Emancipation Act and the end of the Civil War, many freed slaves built communities across Prince William County.
One of those communities, known as “The Settlement,” within the triangle of Old Carolina, Carver Road and Lee Highway in Gainesville, remains, to this day, home to many descendants of those early County residents.
