Structure Fire for Sunday Volunteers

Just before 8:30 on Sunday evening the volunteers on Engine 618 and Tower 611 (with a mixed career/volunteer crew) were alerted along with Engine 611 and other units from Loudoun County Fire and Rescue, Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department, and Sterling Volunteer Rescue Squad for a house fire in Sterling Park. Units from Station 11 arrived first and found smoke in the home. Additional units were requested, bringing Canteen 611. Engine 611 began fire attack while the Tower 611 crew split to perform a search, secure utilities, and place ground ladders. The fire was quickly extinguished and units transitioned to smoke removal and damage mitigation, while others were released, returning to service and available to answer any additional calls. Many of those units were dispatched to Countryside just after 9:30 for another reported structure fire.

What was the cause?

This is my sister’s house. Thank you to the firefighters for saving my sister and her family last night. Our hearts are broken for the loss, but beyond grateful that everyone is safe. Fire alarms saved lives — please make sure yours are working. Forever thankful. 🙏

Ho, ho, ho!

Santa's work is almost done, and all the presents have been wrapped and are ready to be delivered. The reindeer are rested, the sleigh is packed, and it's time for Santa to return to the North Pole where Mrs. Claus and the elves are waiting for him.

Santa sends you a warm and jolly thank you for making this Christmas so magical. Your kindness and belief in the spirit of the season light up the world brighter than any Christmas lights!

Remember to keep being kind to one another and cherish the special moments that make life so joyful. The true magic of Christmas lives in your hearts all year round.

Stay safe, enjoy a very Merry Christmas, and have a fantastic New Year filled with joy and laughter.

Until next year,

Santa and the Grinch
