Friday, November 29, 2024
Just before midnight Saturday, October 26th, SCFR units were alerted to a reported structure fire in the 500 block of Wyne Drive, near Warrenton Road. A Stafford County ambulance returning from the hospital spotted the fire and relayed information to dispatch, while additional calls came in. Other SCFR units arrived on scene approximately five minutes later to find three detached buildings, including a chicken coop, on fire. The fire was brought under control in approximately 10 minutes, with minor impact to the adjacent residence.
None of the occupants in the residence reported injuries. While multiple chickens did not survive, several others did. The fire is under investigation by the Stafford County Fire Marshal’s Office.
From Prince William fire and rescue:
The family dog has been rescued. Earlier this morning, units were dispatched back to the scene of last week’s horrific house explosion for a report of a barking dog in the debris. Crews arrived to hear the dog under a portion of the collapsed structure. Firefighters were able to free the animal after about 20 minutes of deploying structure collapse stabilization shoring techniques and some good old coaxing by the home’s owner. She appeared to be in good shape and showed her happiness of being freed by rapid tail wagging.
Stafford County will establish the Rockhill Fire and Rescue Station along Mountain View Road near Willowmere Park, consolidating Fire Station 8 and the Rock Hill Volunteer Rescue Squad. The project, costing nearly $17 million, will include a three-bay facility designed for both career and volunteer personnel. Construction is set to begin in spring 2025.
