The fire was reported at approximately 5:20 p.m. on June 27 at the training site located on Furnace Road. Upon arrival, emergency crews found a large storage building filled with commercial equipment fully involved in flames. The fire resulted in the total destruction of the facility, which is used by Fairfax County’s Urban Search and Rescue team.
