House Fire in Great Falls Va
Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department units responded to a house fire Saturday, February 6, 2010, at approximately 7:50 p.m., in the Great Falls area of Fairfax County. The single-family home is located at 11208 West Montpelier Road.
Firefighters encountered heavy fire and smoke coming from all sides of the two-story home upon arrival. Firefighters needed several snow plows to assist them in getting access to the home.

A water tanker task force of several tankers, including Loudoun County Fire & Rescue was used in fighting the fire. It took firefighters over an hour to extinguish the fire. Two adult occupants escaped the fire unharmed. There were no injuries. Red Cross was requested, but declined.
The home was total loss.
