Lake Ridge House Fire Injures 1, Displaces 2: Fire Department

WOODBRIDGE, VA — A fire broke out at a home in Woodbridge on Tuesday morning, fire department officials said.

One person, an adult man, was injured in the blaze. He is still receiving treatment at an area hospital.

Officials have not determined what could have caused the fire, which displaced two residents.

Firefighters responded to the home in the 12000 block of Hatchway Court around 5:15 a.m. on Tuesday. First responders noted fire and heavy smoke emitting from the single-family home.

A tenant in the home told the owner about a fire on the first floor, and they were both able to self-evacuate, authorities said.

The fire department said the home sustained extensive damage, but officials did not provide a monetary estimate on Tuesday.

"The Fire Marshal’s Office would like to remind everyone, smoke detectors save lives," authorities said in a news release. "Ensure your smoke detectors are working properly by testing monthly. If you need assistance in obtaining a smoke detector, please contact your local fire station."
