CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (CVILLE RIGHT NOW) – Seven people were left looking for a place to live after fire destroyed their home Monday morning in the 3900 block of Red Hill Rd., according to Albemarle County Fire Rescue.

Firefighters were dispatched at 8:48 a.m. to the scene on Red Hill about a mile west of Scottsville Road, and fire suppression apparatus arrived 12 minutes later, ACFR announced in a release.

They found smoke and fire showing on one side of a home, and two adults and two children home at the time had safely evacuated.
