FORT LEE, Va. – An engine company from Prince George County assisted the installation fire department here in its response to a brush fire reported at the range complex at 2:26 p.m. today.

The fire is contained and crews are now monitoring the five-acre area where the incident occurred as of 5:35 p.m. According to an incident report from Fort Lee Fire Chief Phillip Wilkinson, smoke may affect visibility on River Road and motorists should be cautious when driving in that area.
