Original post at 9:35 PM – Sunday – November 20, 2016 Late Sunday evening area fire crews were on the scene battling a large brushfire on Eades Lane just north of Lovingston in Nelson County. This is the same road that Virginia Distillery Company is on. As of this post at 9:30 pm Sunday, that business is not in danger.
Photo by Chrissy Huber : Around 10 PM Sunday night fire can be seen on the mountaintop above Virginia Distillery Company in the background of this photo shot from US 29 looking toward Eades Lane north of Lovingston, Virginia.Multiple fire departments have been battling the blaze for several hours. A fight made increasingly difficult due to high winds and very dry conditions.
Several structures have been threatened by the fire. The fire has jumped a line, at least once, made to stop it from spreading.
