Fire Destroys Barn in Lucketts Area

At approximately 1:43 a.m. on September 1, 2010, the Loudoun County Emergency Communications Center was alerted of a fire at 15050 Lee’s Crossing Lane. Emergency personnel arrived on scene shortly and reported a large wooden barn well involved with possible extension into an adjacent barn. Since the property was located in a non-hydranted area in Lucketts, crews utilized tankers to shuttle water from a cistern to the fire ground.

As a result of the fire, the barn was a total loss. However, the adjacent barn sustained minimal damage due to the aggressive suppression operations of firefighters. The Loudoun County Fire Marshal’s Office is currently investigating the fire and there is no damage estimate at this time.

Emergency crews from Lucketts, Leesburg, Lansdowne, Lovettsville, Hamilton and Loudoun Rescue responded to the fire and remained on scene for several hours.
