Gainesville House Fire Causes $40,000 in Damage

A Gainesville family managed to escape their home alive after a fire broke out Wednesday afternoon, Prince William Fire and Rescue reports show. 

Firefighters responded to a home on the 14000 block Indigo Bunting Court at 1 p.m. and found a fire in the dining room. 

The fire was dowsed by firefighters on the scene who also checked to make sure the fire hadn't spread to other parts of the house. 

The family living there managed to escape relatively unharmed because they were warned by the fire alarm that sounded inside the house, fire officials said. relatively One adult suffered minored injuries, but was treated at the scene and later released. In all, two adults and a child were displaced by the fire, which caused about $40,000 in damage. 

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
