Fire broke out around 7:30 am in the house near Charlottesville, Virginia. Stefan and his son were home at the time but got out safely.
Early investigation indicates that the fire started on the first floor and spread to the second story. The exterior of the house was cedar, contributing to the fuel load. It is located in an isolated area without hydrants and the five FD’s responding had to rely on water shuttles. It is estimated to be a $2 million loss.
