Shortly before 9:45 a.m. on Monday, crews were called to the 4000 block of Ridgeview Circle to contend with a tricky fire that sent smoke billowing through the air in the area after rapidly spreading inside the home.
According to a Fairfax County Police spokesperson, detectives were later called to the scene while firefighters worked to contain the flames after first responders found a man dead in a bedroom.
No information about the victim was released. No additional injuries were initially reported.
The cause and origin of the fire are under investigation.
