Crews are combating a house fire at 83 Northhampton Boulevard in North Stafford.

A caller told 911 a car was on fire in his garage, and the 911 dispatcher told him to evacuate the house, according to initial reports. The occupants made it out safely.

Those who support law enforcement marched from Hurkamp Park in Downtown Fredericksburg to the city’s police headquarters.

More than 1,000 people lined the streets Sunday, many holding signs and U.S. flags, shouting “back the blue.” The marchers were given a motorcycle escort by over 100 bikers who rode along with the marchers on their way across town.

More than 400 people came to Nelson Park to show their support for area law enforcement.

The park is about four miles from the scene of a riot that took place on May 30, following the death of Minneapolis resident George Floyd, who died at the hands of a former police officer during an arrest attempt.
