At 12:34 p.m. Sunday, Concord Volunteer Fire Department (Company 13) was dispatched to reports of a brush fire that spread into multiple structures.

According to the Appomattox Traffic and Awareness online news page, the large brush fire was off Archer Creek Road (off Stage Road).

First arriving units advised that approximately two acres were on fire and threatening a structure. While attempting to contain the fire, high winds pushed the fire into nearby structures, the fire department stated.

The call was upgraded to multiple working structure fires. Crews worked on scene for six hours putting the brush, house, shed, and car fires all out.
