At approximately 11:45 a.m. on June 11, thick black smoke began pouring from the roof at Lejeune Hall aboard Marine Corps Base Quantico. A planned power outage activated the generator, which began malfunctioning and emitting the smoke. Everyone was evacuated from the building safely, and there were no injuries. The MCBH Fire Department, along with crews from Stafford and Prince William County, responded immediately, cutting power to the generator and securing the building. There was no damage to the building other than a smoke stain on the roof. - At approximately 11:45 a.m. on June 11, thick black smoke began pouring from the roof at Lejeune Hall aboard Marine Corps Base Quantico.
