POWHATAN COUNTY, Va. — A fire shut down part of Route 60, also known as Anderson Highway, in Powhatan County on Tuesday evening.
The fire broke out around 7:40 p.m. in the 2800 block of Route 60. It took two hours to get the fire under control.
Firefighters noted that the initial scene was not safe, prompting the call for assistance from Dominion Energy, VDOT, and the Metro Richmond Flying Squad.
CBS 6 learned there were a number of items in and around the home that made the fire difficult to fight. The home is in an "unhydrated" part of the county, meaning crews had to conduct water shuttle operations.
One lane of traffic on Route 60 is still closed and they hope to reopen it later Wednesday.
Authorities have not yet released too much information about the fire and its impact.
