DALE CITY, Va. — Fire crews were called to a wooded area in Dale City to douse a brush fire that claimed two acres of land.
Crews were called about 4 p.m. Tuesday to the area of Mapledale Avenue and Mahoney Drive after a fire was found in a wooded area behind several homes. The woods sit adjacent to Andrew Leitch Park, home of the Prince William County Park Authority’s Waterworks Park.
Crews on the scene said they initially were called to Mahoney Drive but could also access the burning brush from Rapshody Court. A creek lies in the woods where the blaze was found and flames burned brush all the way up to the creek, an incident official said.
This is the latest in a series of brush fires in this area, the official added.
