Fire damages apartment building on U.S. 11 in Weyers Cave
WEYERS CAVE — A Friday night fire damaged an apartment building on U.S. 11, across the street from Blue Ridge Community College in Weyers Cave.
The fire took place at the College Woods Duplexes.
Augusta County Deputy Fire Chief Bryan Mace said the fire was called in just minutes after 7 p.m. He said when members of the Weyers Cave Volunteer Fire Company arrived, they saw a man dumping water on the fire with a medium-sized plastic garbage can in an effort to douse the flames.
Mace said the fire damage in the apartment was mostly contained to the kitchen, but noted there was smoke and heat damage throughout the residence.
Two adults and an infant were displaced by the fire, and Mace said Red Cross was contacted to assist.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
No injuries were reported.
Besides the Weyers Cave Volunteer Fire Company and Augusta County Fire-Rescue, firefighters from Staunton, Bridgewater, Verona and Grottoes also responded, Mace said.
