Fire and Rescue

Stafford County Fire and Rescue: “Just after 9:30 P.M. on Sunday, June 25th, units with Stafford County Fire and Rescue (SCFR) were dispatched for a reported structure fire in the 1300 block of Interstate Business Park just off of Warrenton Road. First arriving units marked on scene approximately five minutes later to find smoke coming from the front roof line and two bay doors of a two-story, subdivided warehouse building.”

“A bystander was attempting to extinguish the fire with a garden hose and advised there was a fire in one of the upstairs office spaces. Crews quickly began working to extinguish the fire, bringing the fire under control in approximately an hour due to difficult to access areas. The suite where the fire originated was not occupied at the time, and occupants of neighboring suites were able to self-evacuate without incident. One firefighter was transported for a minor illness.”

Crews found heavy smoke from the front and heavy fire from the rear of a single-family residence. Crews quickly began working to extinguish the fire. The fire was brought under control in 20 minutes.

The four occupants could get out before the arrival of the units, and none reported injuries. The occupants were first alerted when they heard a noise in the house, and then the smoke alarms sounded.
