With cold weather often comes unfortunate fire accidents. One person was killed in a blaze that broke out at about 7:45pm on Saturday evening, an Albemarle County press release announces today, though the person’s name was not released until autopsy results came back. No word on what started the fire, which torched a townhome at 147 Woodlake Dr., between W. Rio Road and Route 29. The dead person was found on the second floor.
