Fire crews battled heavy fire at a home along Upham Drive in Henrico County early Tuesday morning.
"Units arrived on location within five minutes, and we found heavy fire throughout the structure, coming through the back side of the roof," said Captain Scott Akens.
Just after 4:30 a.m., the single-story home had flames and smoke coming through the roof.
"We did a defensive operation, started hitting it from the outside, then we transitioned to an interior fire attack," Akens explained. "And at the same time, we performed a search of the structure, looking for anybody."
Fortunately, no one was home at the time of the fire, according to Akens.
