Two people were hurt in a Thanksgiving Day fire in Loudoun County, Virginia, that started outside a house and spread to the woods.
The Loudoun County Combined Fire and Rescue System said in a statement Friday that the fire started from a malfunction in a golf cart under the wooden deck of a house on Wilt Store Road, in Lucketts, a bit before noon Thursday.
The fire department said the house was 鈥渇ully involved in fire, with fire extending to the surrounding woods.鈥�
It took about 90 minutes to get the fire under control. Fire personnel from Lovettsville, Purcellville, Leesburg, Hamilton and Frederick County, Maryland, were called. A tanker truck had to be brought in, because the rural area didn鈥檛 have an established water supply.
A firefighter was taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries, and a civilian was injured but refused transport, the fire department said.
The fire department estimated damage to the house and its contents at $487,000.
