Former Gov. and Sen. Chuck Robb (D-Va.) is recovering in hospital along with his wife after the couple’s Northern Virginia mansion caught fire.
Robb’s wife is Lynda Bird Johnson Robb, President Lyndon B. Johnson’s eldest daughter.
The fire caused an estimated $1.6 million in damages.
Per Richmond’s 8News:
The house is located in the 600 block of Chain Bridge Road. The smoke alarms alerted occupants of the home to the fire, according to the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department’s Twitter page.
No firefighters were injured while putting out the blaze.
The cause remains under investigation, according to FCFRD.
