STAFFORD, Va. — A fire broke out in the Seasons Landing area of Stafford County about 7:30 p.m. Sunday.
Fire crews were called to the residential fire at a two-story house off Sanctuary Lane near the Stafford County Courthouse. The blaze was threatening other homes in the area, and fire crews were able to bring the fire under control within 20 minutes, said Stafford fire Assistant Chief Mark Doyle.
The fire burned so hot that exterior siding on nearby homes sustained damage. Doyle said the fire remains under investigation and that no one was injured in the blaze.
