Fire Scene Snarls Traffic on Centreville Road—Again
Traffic stalled on Centreville Road twice on Friday after firefighters were called back to Byrd Tractor where a fire burned that morning.

Police closed parts of Centreville Road for a second time on Friday after firefighters were called back to a Yorkshire business that was on fire earlier that day.
Just before 9 p.m. on Friday, a portion of the 7200 block of Centreville Road near the Fairfax County border was closed by Prince William County Police while firefighters from several departments again responded to Byrd Tractor, where a oil tank exploded that morning.
It is not immediately clear what brought firefighters back to the one-story building some 12 hours after the fire was brought under control.
