All posts tagged 2-Alarm fire in Herndon VA

Fairfax County (VA) firefighters responded to the report of a townhouse on fire Monday morning (11/10/14) in the Herndon/Frying Pan area.  On arrival with smoke and fire showing from the 3rd floor level of the townhouse complex, BC401 quickly upgraded the call to a 2nd alarm bringing in RIT Level 1 and other support resources.  Loudon County provided mutual aid.  Firefighters attacked the fire using aerial and tower ladders.

Extensive overhaul took place due to firefighters having to chase active fire and hot spots remaining in the attic crawl spaces.
