The release says the displaced residents will be “relocated by management to temporary housing until their units are repaired.”
Six units from CFD — three fire engines, one aerial truck, one fire marshal and one battalion commander — and one medical unit from the Charlottesville-Albemarle Rescue Squad responded to the scene. The first unit was on the scene within 4 minutes.
