First-arriving crews found heavy fire and smoke at the front and rear of a two-story single-family home and brought the blaze under control in about an hour.

One firefighter went to the hospital for evaluation of non-life-threatening injuries. The Stafford County Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating. The release does not give a cause, an exact street address, the ages of those displaced, or the extent of damage.
