Fire crews from Stafford County and Quantico Marine Corps Base were called to a house fire in the 2900 block of Richmond Highway (Route 1) in North Stafford on Saturday, March 1. The incident occurred just before 12:30 p.m.

Firefighters found a single-wide mobile home fully engulfed in flames, with fire spreading to nearby wooded areas. Crews worked to contain the fire and brought the structure fire under control in less than 15 minutes, according to Stafford fire and rescue spokeswoman Katie Brady. The brush fire, which spread across one acre, was contained within 30 minutes, she added.

The mobile home was unoccupied at the time of the fire. Multiple passersby reported the fire. No residents were displaced, and no injuries were reported.
