Woodbridge, Va. — Senior citizens have returned to their apartment homes after a water pipe burst and flooded portions of their building.
Fire and rescue crews on Monday night were called to the River Run Senior Apartments on 13900 Ridgewood Drive, near the intersection of Prince William Parkway and Minnieville Road in Woodbridge, and found a broken hot water pipe flooding apartments. The pipe was located on the second floor and its water caused damage to multiple units on the first and second floods, said Prince William fire and rescue spokeswoman Kim Hylander.
No injuries were reported.
The Red Cross took some of the 50 displaced residents who were evacuated to the nearby Sharron Baucom Dale City Recreation Center. The residents were later allowed to return to the apartment complex at 6 p.m. Tuesday where they were fed dinner, said Hylander.
School buses were also brought in to help transport the victims after the pipe burst, and food was provided for the evacuees.
