Update 3: Factory fire, Virginia

An emergency situation under the Public Safety Preservation Act in Virginia has been revoked following a large factory fire this afternoon.
Initial inquiries suggest around 3.30pm police and emergency services attended a large fire that had broken out in an industrial building on Pritchard Road.
An emergency situation was declared and an exclusion zone was put in place.
The PSPA was revoked at 11.10pm.
One lane from Sandgate Road westbound onto Pritchard Road has reopened to traffic and will remain in place throughout the night and into peak hour tomorrow morning.
While the fire is now out, there is some smoke haze in the area with fire crews still at the site hosing down the area to prevent re-ignition.
A crime scene has been declared, and scientific officers and fire investigators will attend the scene tomorrow morning to determine whether they are able to safely investigate the cause.
