Gas crews are checking their lines in a Woodbridge neighborhood following an explosion inside a home Feb. 7.

On that day, fire and rescue crews were called to the 14000 block of Franklin Street for a report of the gas leak. Crews entered a home and smelled gas inside the structure, and were lucky enough to make it out unscathed before the house exploded.

For Occoquan-Woodbridge-Lorton Volunteer Fire Department, saving lives is just in a day’s work.  Sometimes those lives aren’t even human.  

While the engine crew from station 14 was retrieving dinner, they spotted a beautiful husky who was without his family.  “We saw him walking around the parking lot and we just walked up to him and he came right to us. He was very well behaved and friendly, so we knew he had a family,” said Firefighter Chris Weber.  Although wearing a collar and tag, the veterinarian listed was out of business. “We took him to Old Bridge Animal Hospital but he did not have a chip.”
