Firefighters from Arlington and other local departments are on scene of a fire in Falls Church.
A one-story building is on fire at the Falls Green apartment complex at 501 Roosevelt Blvd, just north of the Eden Center shopping center.
Numerous firefighters were on scene as of publication time, working to bring the smoky fire under control. Some used equipment to cut holes in the building’s roof.
Residents tell ARLnow that the building is a clubhouse that was renovated a few years ago, housing a gym, a mailroom and other amenities.
The Arlington County Fire Department is the primary firefighting service for the City of Falls Church, under an agreement between the two jurisdictions.
As of 1:45 p.m., firefighters reported that the blaze was largely extinguished but the fire-and-water-damaged building would require “extensive overhaul.”
