10/19/15 Detroit, MI – Firefighters arrived at 13134 Sunset to find a vacant dwelling with fire showing. This dwelling quickly became well involved. The wind driven fire produced large brands which quickly caught two vacant dwellings on Shields St. The brands also started a garage fire to the rear of this address as well as a dumpster fire against a commercial building on E. Davidson.

From the Fairfax County FD Facebook page:
Units responded to a house fire Friday, October 30, 2015, at approximately 8:40 p.m., in the McLean area of Fairfax County. The single-family home is located at 1858 Massachusetts Avenue.
Firefighters encountered heavy smoke and fire coming from the three-story home upon arrival. Firefighters conducted an aggressive fire attack; however, they were not able to save any of the home due to the volume of fire. A sounding smoke alarm allowed an adult female to escape the home from a second floor bedroom. Red Cross support was offered but declined by the occupant. She was transported to Arlington Hospital for non-life threatening injuries.
The home was a complete loss.
According to fire investigators, the fire was accidental. The refrigerator in the kitchen malfunctioned and caused the fire.
