Box 2800 was toned out for a reported deck fire on Tuesday, Feb. 24 3040 Holmes Run Road in Falls Church, VA. The first arriving units encountered heavy smoke and fire coming from the house and a full working fire dispatch was quickly sounded. The house contained a large amount of items and combustibles making the fire difficult to contain. Smoke continued to pour from the house for hours after the initial firefight began. Foam was applied to the house towards the end of the operation.
