LYNCHBURG, Va. – Firefighters are currently on the scene of a house fire in Lynchburg Wednesday. According to officials, the residents of the house were not in the home when the fire broke out, but they have been displaced.
LFD said that crews responded to the reports of smoke at 1:45 p.m. coming out of a single-story home in the 3000 block of Bonsack Street. Crews found heavy fire and smoke showing but due to hoarding conditions inside the home they could only initially conduct an exterior attack.
