STAFFORD COUNTY, Va. (WTVR) – The fire marshal is still investigating what caused a fire at a Stafford County adult group home. It took fire crews around 40 minutes to bring the Monday evening fire under control.

The fire burned a  group home for special needs adults, according to Stafford County Fire and Rescue Department Assistant Chief Mark Doyle. No one was inside the home, on Whispering Pines Lane, when the fire started, Doyle said. The people who live in the home have been relocated to other homes.
