A woman suffered serious injuries when fire broke out in a Reston townhouse about 3:20 a.m. Friday morning.
Fairfax County Fire and Rescue crews were called to 11853 St. Trinians Court in the Deepwood neighborhood. Fire was showing from all three levels of the middle-row townhouse. Firefighters issued a second alarm, and about 60 firefighters were at the scene battling the blaze.
Officials said the woman self-evacuated. She was the only person home at the time. She was flown to Washington Hospital Center’s burn unit.
