Prince William Fire and Rescue says units were dispatched to the 13000 block of Redstone Drive (Dale City) for a reported house fire on Tuesday afternoon. Crews arrived with smoke showing and occupants out of the structure. No injuries were reported. The single-family dwelling sustained moderate damage displacing 2 adults and one child. The Red Cross provided assistance. The Fire Marshal’s Office contributed the cause of the fire to a space heater located in a second floor converted home office.
The Fire Marshal’s Office warns everyone to use caution whenever utilizing space heaters. Do not leave unattended, keep combustibles at least 3 feet away, and isolate from small children and pets.
