Photos: No Injuries in Copenhagen Court Fire

Cause of the Tuesday basement fire is unknown.

A fire that began Tuesday afternoon in the basement of a Copenhagen Court was contained and put out quickly by Fairfax County Fire and Rescue firefighters.

The department got a call about the fire shortly before 4 p.m., Capt. William Moreland told Patch at the scene. The fire, located in the basement, was showing on the back side of the home, and smoke was escaping from the front.

Nobody was home at the time of the fire, Moreland said, so there were no injuries in the blaze.

The cause is unknown at this time.

Molly-you have hit it on the head! We shouldn't be starting down this slippery slope of ruleRead More changing for 1 person.I do not know this individual , but that is not the issue here.

If the RA Board approves this self serving move by another RA Board member then the board membersRead More who do so should be voted out of their roles the next time they run for election.

Mr. Farrell, methinks thou protest too much. What ridicule and derision? It seems that you areRead More fanning the flames and rooting out some sort of scandal that, from my view, doesn't exist. As I understand it, there is a by-law provision that allows a homeowner to ask to be included in the RA. This wasn't something made up to accommodate one person. It was adopted for any single homeowner or cluster to opt in. There is no slippery slope. The rule is not being changed or adjusted for one person. The rule or by-law was in place prior to any of this hand wringing. Next, Ms. Rostant and all the other RA Board members are serving on a volunteer basis. Do any of you critics see some sort of gain to be had in this case? I find the witch hunt nature of some regarding this matter to be dubious if not mean spirited. Its easy to sit back in your easy chair and type away on your computer and deliver your edicts to resign. Get the facts. The lack of civility in some of these posts is repulsive.
