LOUDOUN COUNTY, Va. — For more than four hours, crews were on the scene of a fire that caused a large plume of smoke in the sky in Loudoun County Monday afternoon.
According to Loudoun County Fire, the flames sparked in the 110 block of Acacia Lane in Sterling around 3 p.m. Crews called for a second alarm, which means the fire has reached a size requiring more firefighters to control it.
Loudoun County Fire officials tell WUSA9 that 400 people were evacuated from the area but not necessarily from the building where the fire was.
"It's a very large building and there was a significant amount of fire in the building. the building was almost completely involved from one end to the other, adding to the complexity we had an exposure problem we had two warehouses on both sides of the building that were being threatened by the fire," said Assistant Chief Travis Preau.
The smoke could be seen from Dulles Airport, but according to Virginia Delegate Atoosa Reaser, the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority confirmed the fire is not at the airport and is not impacting any airfield operations. Dulles is open and operating normally.

Fire caused by "improper discarding of smoking materials.”
Doh! Someone’s looking for another job.
