At approximately 7:15 a.m., the first unit arrived on scene and found a small fire in the bathroom of an apartment. The fire was contained to the bathroom, and was extinguished.

The City of Williamsburg’s Community Risk Reduction team categorized the fire as accidental due to discarded smoking material.
