Two people have been injured after a fire broke out at the former Virginia Governor’s mansion in McLean.
According to ARLnow.com and InsideNoVa., firefighters arrived at the Chain Bridge Road home shortly after 11:30 p.m. Tuesday to battle a blaze that had already spread through its first floor by morning; this was reported as flames reached other floors of an empty mansion with no one inside except for two dogs who were rescued safely during operation “Rescue.” Emergency personnel worked non-stop until just before 5 am when they finally brought things under control!

The home of former president and first lady, George Washington’s Parrot Estate has been in the news lately. This lavish property was purchased by 82-year old democrat Robb Johnson for 1 million dollars back when he served as a US senator from Nebraska alongside his wife Lynda Bird The Johnsons who have owned this estate since 1973 according to InsideNoVa records; with an appraised value between 3 – 4 million dollars today.

The fire department is working to determine what caused ablaze. They have not released any information about the cause yet, but it was most likely an electrical issue due to all of these being men working near one another who were using their power tools at once when it happened (maybe forgetting which outlet provided electricity).
