Update: 4:55 p.m.

Fire Rescue spokesperson Mary Maguire said that the fire was accidental in nature and occurred from “improper disposal of smoking materials.”

Damage estimates are in the $2 million range.

Original story:

An early-morning apartment fire broke out in Sterling on Nov. 20, displacing residents.

Initial reports were that Loudoun Fire and Rescue responded at 7:39 a.m. to the apartment, located in the 20500 block of Reserve Falls Terrace.

Firefighters had to resort to a defensive attack due to potential collapse damage. Red Cross was on the scene helping the reported 26 displaced residents, as at least 13 units were damaged.

Fire personnel are investigating the cause of the fire and determining the extent of damage. Two civilians were taken to the hospital with minor injuries.

This is a developing story.
