Firefighters focused their efforts to protecting  exposures, including an outside propane tank that had vented from the fire and heat.

Flying embers ignited a pick up truck and an SUV, as well as hay bales and a couple acres of woodland. Crews from Va. Department of Forestry assisted.

Two firefighters suffered burns to the face and hands, while another had a twisted knee. They were released after treatment at Warren Memorial Hospital.

The fire is being investigated by the Warren County Fire Marshal’s office.
