No Injuries in Lorton Town House Fire

Three adults and four children were displaced, but not injured, Monday after an early morning townhouse fire on Potters Hill Circle in Lorton.

Fairfax County Fire and Rescue were called to the scene at 6:46 a.m., and arrived four minutes later to find the garage level of the three-story town home engulfed in smoke. 

"I've got a huge headache," said a female tenant of the home, who said she has been renting the townhouse for 10 years. 

The Red Cross is assisting the displaced residents. 

The fire damage was limited to the garage level, and was put out by 7:10 a.m. Fire investigators were at the scene Monday to determine the cause of the fire. 

"There's significant damage to the first level, and there is smoke damage on the upper two levels," said Lieutenant Nate Perkins of Fairfax County Fire and Rescue.
