GREAT FALLS, Va. — A firefighter was hurt while battling a McMansion fire Monday.
WUSA9 reported that the fire happened at 12:54 a.m. and fire was showing from all four sides of the home when crews arrived. The house was in excess of 10,000 square feet.
Officials said there were no water hydrants in the area, so crews had to shuttle water in using tankers, according to the report.
No one was home at the time of the fire. It took several hours for firefighters to put the fire out.
The injured firefighter was transported to a hospital with a non-life threatening injury. The cause of the fire has still not been determined and the house is a total loss.
