Five family members are displaced after a fire engulfed their home on the 1100 block of Silver Beech Road in Herndon.
The fire, which caused $784,550 in damages, was caused by the improper disposal of fire pit ashes, according to the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department.
Officials believe the fire started on the deck near an outdoor fire pit. The family was at home when the fire broke out at around 2:30 a.m. on Monday (Dec. 9).
