A multimillion dollar mansion in Fairfax County, VA was burnt to the ground yesterday (2/20).
The 6,000 square foot mansion was owned by the United Arab Emirates Embassy. After 12 long hours, the Fairfax County firefighters were able to put out the flames. In the process of putting out the blaze, it was difficult as the fire department didn't have easy access to any fire hydrants. The closest one to the mansion was a half mile away.
In the wake of this incident, the Beckley Fire Department weighed in on the tragic situation.
