Fire near Dulles?

Does anyone know if there is a fire near Dulles?? I could see thick clouds of black smoke over that way just a few minutes ago.

 

I came to ask the same question. I saw it on the way home from Fitness First. I can't find anything about it on the news channel websites, so hopefully it isn't something at the airport.

I saw it too. But I also planes landing so I doubt it is an airport incident.

 

Thanks I checked the dulles website, it still says all the planes are arriving and leaving on time. That's a good sign.

We saw it the smoke too, traveling north on 28, it is very near the airport but have found nothing out about it. It's very black smoke, that's for sure.

 

Yep. It's a brush fire. WJLA.com has a story now:

They reported there was a 2nd fire not far from the first and it was a bunch of tires.
