Fire crews went to the 1500 block of Cherry Hill Road near Dumfries at 11:17 a.m. today and found multiple brush fires. No one was injured, and the cause of the fire is under investigation, a Prince William County Fire and Rescue spokesman states.
The fires delayed several freight trains in the area. As of 1:30 p.m., trains began traveling through the area again, albeit slower than usual, at 10 mph.
Amtrak reports its train 79; the Carolinian is delayed about an hour-and-half due to the fires. Virginia Railway Express also operates trains on the tracks but has not reported any delays.
