Stafford Fire and Rescue reports a fire reported aound 2:45 Saturday afternoon in the 100 block of Aquia Creek Road, near Aquia Creek.
Spokeswoman Katie Brady says callers reported a neighboring residence on fire, and first arriving units marked on scene less than 10 minutes later and confirmed fire and smoke coming from the rear and roof of a single-family residence. Due to a lack of hydrants in the area, crews had to utilize rural water operations to shuttle water to the scene.
Brady says crews worked quickly to extinguish the fire and bring it under control in approximately an hour, despite the roof collapsing.
She says the residence was not occupied at the time of the fire, and no injuries were reported.
The fire is under routine investigation by the Stafford County Fire Marshal’s Office. Stafford units were assisted on scene by Quantico Fire & Emergency Services.
