The fire, northwest of Richmond's downtown area, sent thick, choking clouds of black smoke high enough into the atmosphere that they were visible on satellite radar.
As many as 2,011 residents living within a half-a-mile radius of the fire were evacuated, according to officials with Wayne County Emergency Management.
As crews continue to battle the fire, Bethesda Ministries, 2200 Peacock Road, have opened their doors as a temporary shelter for those displaced in the evacuation zone, according to Wayne County Emergency Management.
