At approximately 3:00 pm on Tuesday afternoon, units were dispatched to the 500 block of Hull Street for a reported house fire. Crews arrived on the scene and found fire coming from the rear of the house. Firefighters quickly searched the house for occupants and extinguished the fire.

It was found that no one was home during the blaze, but two dogs were rescued; both are doing well.

The Fire Marshal's office has determined that the fire was unintentional.

This past Monday through Thursday, fire and rescue departments from the cities of Staunton, Waynesboro, and Harrisonburg, along with Rockingham and Augusta County, hosted Rescue Challenge 2026.

Rescue Challenge is a four-day event where technical rescue teams from Virginia and across the East Coast come together to tackle a variety of specialized rescue scenarios, including rope rescue, confined-space rescue, trench rescue, building-collapse rescue, farm-machinery rescue, and water rescue.

Each team participated in two events a day. While not a competition, with no scores kept, these events allow teams to hone their skills in real-life, challenging scenarios in a hard-to-duplicate training environment.

We would like to give special thanks to two city businesses, Rocky Dale Quarry and Qualtek, for assisting us with training sites for this event.
