LOUDOUN COUNTY, Va. (7News) — A house fire that caused more than $1.3 million in damage in a Virginia neighborhood was accidental and started after junked smoking material ignited, according to fire officials.

The two-alarm fire happened around 12:23 p.m. July 2 in the 17100 block of Creekside Green Place in Round Hill.

The Loudoun County Fire and Rescue Marshal’s Office said when crews arrived, they found heavy fire conditions at a two-story single-family home. A second alarm was requested, bringing more units from Ashburn and Clarke County.

Everyone inside the home safely evacuated before firefighters showed up, officials said.

Firefighters reportedly began working on the blaze, including the use of an elevated master stream from the first-arriving ladder truck.

During the response, crews rescued the family cat from the basement, according to the fire department.

Crews gave oxygen and temporary care before turning the cat over to Loudoun County Animal Services for evaluation.

The fire was declared under control after about an hour.

Because of the extreme heat wave in the region, firefighters rotated through rehabilitation stations during the incident.

Officials said crews were given time to hydrate, rest in cooled areas, and receive medical monitoring.

No one was hurt in the incident, and the fire left a family of four and a cat displaced.

Officials estimated damages at $1,346,790.

Investigators said the entire ordeal started after smoking materials were thrown away into a container, where they smoldered and later caught fire while unattended.

Loudoun County Fire and Rescue is reminding residents to fully extinguish smoking materials before throwing them away.

Officials said cigarette butts and ashes should be doused in water or sand and disposed of only in a designated metal containers.

A U.S. Air Force commander for medical services at a Virginia base was removed from her post this week, according to Air Force officials.

Col. Tracy Allen, commander of the 633rd Medical Group at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, one of the largest Air Force bases, was relieved of command on Tuesday because of a “loss of confidence,” a Langley spokesperson told Military Times on Thursday.

Allen was removed by Col. Stephen Anderson, 633rd Air Base Wing commander, “after careful consideration.”

The base did not provide a specific reason for Allen’s removal beyond citing a loss of confidence in her ability to lead.

Until a new commander of the medical unit is chosen, Col. Michael Blowers, the deputy command surgeon at Air Combat Command, has assumed responsibility of the group.

Before taking command, Allen previously led the 436th Medical Group at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware. She also served as the chief of the Medical Readiness Division and chief of the Air Force Medical Operations Center, according to her LinkedIn.

The base houses Air Combat Command, one of the force’s 10 major commands. It has 1,150 assigned aircraft with 35 wings and 1,470 units across 248 locations.

The 633rd Medical Group has five squadrons and 1,400 personnel that deliver outpatient, specialty and emergent care and operate an outpatient surgical center.

The unit also supports a local patient population of up to 29,000 active-duty members and their families alongside 426,000 TRICARE beneficiaries in Hampton Roads, the area in which the base is located.
