A Roanoke County home is a total loss and two residents have been displaced after a fire.
Roanoke County Fire and Rescue responded to the fire at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday to the 2100 block of Wildwood Road in the Ft. Lewis area.
Heavy black smoke could be seen from a distance. Upon arrival, crews found a two-story wood-frame home engulfed in flames. It’s located in a steep and heavily wooded area.
Two people were inside at the time but made it out safely.
The structure fire did cause a small brush fire that was quickly contained. The fire was brought under control in about 45 minutes. The home is a total loss. The occupants of the home will be displaced and will be staying with family.
The Roanoke County Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating a cause.
