Person found dead inside home after 2-alarm house fire in Fairfax Co.

Firefighters are still working to figure out what caused the fire.

FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. — One person is dead after two-alarm house fire in Fairfax County Monday night. 

Crews arrived at a home in the 6600 block of Pine Road in Lincolnia just after 10:15 p.m., according to Fairfax County Deputy Chief Lee Warner. Once on scene, they found heavy smoke conditions on the outside of the single-family home. A second alarm was called to bring more firefighters to the scene. The fire has been extinguished.

Warner said multiple people were able to escape the blaze. Initially one person was unaccounted for, but crews later discovered that person dead inside the home. 

The owner of the home, who did not want to be identified, told WUSA9 the home is a rental property. He said four people were living inside the home at the time of the fire.

Fire crews remained on scene early Tuesday conducting their investigation into what may have caused the fire. Officials have not identified the person found inside the home, or said whether the home had working smoke detectors. 

This is a developing story. More details will be added as they become available.
