prompted the most extensive fire and rescue response in more than thirty years. Nearly 300 acres of the county were burned and Interstate 95 temporarily closed because of the fires.

“This was the busiest day I have experienced in my 31-year career with Prince William County,” said Chief Kevin McGee, Prince William Department of Fire and Rescue in a press release.
