HENRICO, VA (WWBT) - Firefighters evacuated an apartment building after a car caught fire in the parking lot.

The fire took place on Wood Thrush Circle, which is behind White Oak Village.

There have been no injuries reported with the fire, and the apartment residents have been allowed to return to their homes.

Firefighters have not said what caused the blaze.
