A structure fire at a downtown home caused a multi-unit response on Sunday afternoon.
At approximately 7:00 PM, a call for a reported structure fire was received in the 300 block of Wolfe Street. Radio traffic indicated that a pair of callers reported smoke emanating from the roof of a two-story home.
On the scene, crews from Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania and Stafford were observed climbing onto the top of the front porch via ladders before breaking the front windows. Additional crew removed one of the sidewalk trees to ensure access to the roof of the home for the ladder unit.
One witness present, who appeared to be either a retired or off-duty firefighter, reported that they entered the home after seeing smoke and reported that it looked unoccupied.
After approximately 20 minutes, crews were able to bring the incident under control.
There were no injuries in Sunday’s incident. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
