Occoquan-Woodbridge-Lorton Volunteer Firefighters were called to an apartment fire at 1831 Sugar Hill Drive Lane in Lake Ridge.  OWL crews arrived on scene within minutes with fire showing from the front of the building. 

The fire was under control within 15 minutes.  Fire and Rescue units from OWL VFD, Dale City VFD, Prince William County Department of Fire and Rescue, City of Manassas, Lake Jackson, Stonewall Jackson, and Prince William Police Department responded to the incident.

There were no injuries. Four apartment units were affected. The property manager made arrangements for the four displaced families.

The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Prince William County Fire Marshal’s office.

During the massive storms, OWL was also on scene for a lightning strike in Woodbridge and a boat call to assist canoers in distress on the Potomac River. With bad weather comes more calls to 911, and OWL VFD is ready.
