Update from Stafford fire and rescue

Just after 5:00 p.m. on Monday, August 24th, the Stafford County Fire and Rescue Department (SCFR) was dispatched for a reported residential structure fire in the 00 block of Shore Drive in the Widewater area of Stafford County. Due to the location of the residence and it’s proximity to Aquia Creek, mutual aid was requested from Quantico Fire and Emergency Services as well as fireboats from Fairfax County Fire and Rescue, Prince William Fire and Rescue and Charles County Fire and Emergency Medical Services. 


It seems like Stafford County could have its very own tiger king. Except this one collects oversized dogs, not cats.

The county’s Board of Zoning Appeals at 7 p.m. Tuesday, August 25, will hear the case of Lupine Grove, an attraction proposed by the couple who lives at 26 Quarterhorse Lane in the county’s Equestrian Estate’s neighborhood, just off Route 610 in the northwestern section of the county.


Two boaters were plucked from the Neabsco Creek early Saturday morning, Aug. 22, 2020.

Rescue boats were dispatched at 12:29 a.m. for a disabled boat near a railroad bridge that carries Virginia Railway Express, Amtrak, and freight trains over the Neabcsco Creek, near Leesylvania State Park in Woodbridge.
