Quantico, Va. — A fire at Quantico on Tuesday sent a Marine to Washington Hospital Center’s Burn unit.
A storage facility at Camp Upshur caught fire about 1:16 p.m. prompting base fire crews to battle the blaze, said Quantico Marine Corps Base spokesman 1st Lt. Augustin Solivan.
The unidentified injured Marine is said to be in good condition. Solivan could not say what started the blaze, and added its cause remains under investigation.
Camp Upshur once was home to Quantico’s Officer’s Candidate School and The Basic School. Now being used by reservists, the camp underwent renovations in 2009.
