Fire Breaks out in Bayvue Apartment Utility Room

Fire and rescue crews are working an apartment fire in the 1300 block of Bayside Avenue off of Route 1 in Woodbridge.

A fire broke out on the third floor of a Bayvue Apartment building in a utility room and moved to an attic area, Prince William County Department of Fire and Rescue Battalian Chief Curtis Brodie told Patch. An initial tip about the fire from a Patch reader said that black smoke was visible from the roofline.

Brodie told Patch up to 60 people could be displaced by the blaze Tuesday afternoon.

"We have a building inspector en route to inspect the damage to see if this is the case," said Brodie. 

No one was injured in the blaze. The fire was isolated and extinguished quickly, Brodie told Patch.

"Currently we're rotating firefighters in and out to do the overhaul work," Brodie told Patch. "We do have a fire investigation team on the scene currently including myself and we will be conducting origin and cause investigation."

Patch will update with more information as we get it.
