In recent weeks, firefighters in Prince William County have been called to a large number of brush fires.
“As the weather becomes warmer, mulch becomes drier due to temperature conditions and lack of rainfall, making mulch fires more prevalent. Mulch is a prime location for fires due to improper discarding of smoking materials, by pedestrians, in or near a mulch bed or from motor vehicles. According to the Virginia Fire Chiefs Association, Inc., mulch ignites, smolders, and produces an open flame, which can easily extend up and into a structure. Temperatures, produced by a mulch fire, are enough to ignite adjacent combustible wall finishes, especially vinyl siding, located on the exterior of the building.”
The body of 26-year-old Mortaza Hossain was recovered from the Potomac River.
Authorities found the body Tuesday morning after the Hossain was reported missing Sunday afternoon while boating near Douge Creek and Gunston Cove in Virginia.
