Dining Room Fire at Senior Apartment Complex in Woodbridge

Prince William County fire crews responded to a fire at the River Run Senior Living Apartment complex on Monday morning.

Fire and rescue units were called at 9:30 a.m. to the 13900 block of Hedgewood Drive, according to the Prince William County Department of Fire and Rescue.

Responders found smoke and fire in the dining room on the first floor, according to fire department spokesperson Kim Hylander.

“The fire had ignited a portion of furniture and smoke had spread throughout the first floor and to additional floors above,” she said in a statement. “The fire activated the sprinkler system, which held the fire from spreading while firefighters quickly extinguished the fire.”

The fire was isolated to the floor dining area and no injuries were reported.

The fire alarm activated prior to firefighters arriving alerting residents to the fire and enabling them to evacuate, according to Hylander.

The fire is currently under investigation by the Fire Marshal’s Office.

“Prince William County Department of Fire and Rescue would like to remind residents that Smoke Alarms save lives and your chance of survival doubles when a home contains both smoke alarms and a fire-sprinkler system,” Hylander said.
