Update: New Details on Fort Belvoir Office Building Fire

New details have emerged regarding at the Defense Acquisition University’s Bldg. 207 at Fort Belvoir.

Fire officials were alerted of the blaze at the office building at 12:23 p.m., and the fire was extinguished at 1 a.m. Tuesday, according to the Belvoir Eagle.

More than 140 firefighters from the Fort Belvoir Fire and Emergency Services and Fairfax County Fire and Rescue were at the scene. One Belvoir firefighter sustained a minor burn, but no one else was injured, according to the Eagle.

The building contains offices, a cafeteria and a library. The roof was completely destroyed and the building sustained considerable water damage (three million gallons of water were reportedly used to fight the fire). There are no estimates of the cost of the damage. 

"We’re going to have to total the building," Leo Filipowicz, DAU, director of operations support group, told the Eagle. "The structure is still very viable, but the interior will have to be replaced due to the water damage."
