Quick work by Lynchburg firefighters put out a blaze in a condemned downtown house before it could threaten any of the structures around it.
Lynchburg Fire Battalion Chief Ricky Bomar said firefighters responded to 1509 Taylor St. at 6:21 p.m. Wednesday.
He said it only took about 30 minutes to put out the fire and none of the nearby buildings even suffered smoke damage.
Because the house was already condemned, no one was inside at the time.
Bomar said the building suffered “very extensive damage” to the rear area.
The cause is undetermined, and is still under investigation.
