A fire evacuated residents at the Shenandoah Homes retirement community around 9 last night. The fourth, fifth, and sixth floors were evacuated after a couch caught on fire in a fourth floor room.
Officials say the fire was contained quickly and no one was hurt.
Windows were opened to ventilate the rooms. Residents started returning to their rooms around 10 o'clock. An official cause of the fire is not known at this time. A bee attack that killed a goat in Alleghany County was the work of killer bees. Experts believe the bees were a recent arrival in Low Moor.
