Huge Fire Rages At House Near Reston (Photos)

GREAT FALLS, VA -- A single-family home has suffered significant damage and three firefighters were injured after a huge fire broke out on Wednesday in a neighborhood in Great Falls.

Firefighters were dispatched to the 900 block of Holly Blossom Court at around 10:55 a.m. on May 30 to a report of a house fire, according to a report from Fairfax County Fire and Rescue.

"Units arrived on the scene of a two-story, single family home with significant fire in an attached garage," the report states. "The fire extended into the main house. Crews quickly used fire hose to extinguish the garage fire. Additional fire hose was advanced into the house to stop the fire from spreading further. A second alarm was requested to bring additional resources to the scene."

One occupant was evaluated for a minor injury, and was not transported to the hospital. Three firefighters had minor injuries, and two were transferred to the hospital but were later released.

One occupant was at home at the time.

"The occupant saw smoke coming from the rear garage door," the report states. "Upon investigation, a fire was discovered in the garage. Simultaneously, a neighbor saw fire coming from the garage and called 9-1-1. Smoke alarms sounded after the fire was discovered."

Fire investigators believe the fire started in the garage and was accidental, likely from an electrical event involving extension cords and a power strip.

Two adults have been displaced. Damage from the fire was estimated to be $149,500.
