Improper storage of oily rags cause of house fire in Dale City, says PWC Fire Marshal

Three adults and a child were displaced due to a early morning fire Thursday, April 11, 2024 when Prince William County fire and rescue units were dispatched to the 13400 block of Princedale Drive in Dale City for a report of a house fire.

Crews arrived to find a fire in an attached garage; extinguishment quickly followed. The structure sustained moderate damage and was posted unsafe to occupy by the building official, according to Matt Smolsky, Fire Marshal.

The Red Cross responded and assisted three adults and one child who were displaced.  There were no injuries reported.  The Fire Marshal’s Office determined the cause of the fire was accidental through the improper storage of oily rags.
