All residents were evacuated with temporary housing set up for them, according to Blacksburg VFD.

The Solomon Organization, which operates Foxridge, released this statement:

The Solomon Organization is deeply grateful that all residents of Fox Ridge Apartment Homes are safe following last night’s fire that affected 12 units in a 24-unit building at the community in Blacksburg. We are relieved to report that there were no injuries, and no one required hospitalization.

All displaced residents have been offered assistance, and those who did not secure their own accommodations have been placed in hotels at our expense. While we are confident some of the units will be available very soon for re-occupancy, hotel arrangements will remain available for as long as needed, and our team is working directly with each student and resident to ensure they are stably housed. There are some available units within the Fox Ridge community, and we will prioritize relocation for affected residents as soon as those apartments can be prepared.

We extend our sincere appreciation to the Blacksburg Fire Department and all responding agencies for their swift and professional response. We will fully support and defer to the Fire Department’s ongoing investigation into the cause of the incident, which we understand may take several days.

We understand that this is an especially challenging time for students as they complete their semester over the next two weeks. Our on-site staff and regional team will continue to provide individualized support to help residents navigate housing, transportation, and any other needs that arise during this period.

The safety and well-being of our residents remain our highest priority, and we will continue to communicate updates as additional information becomes available.
