CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. (WTVR) – A bad extension cord hooked up to a bedroom space heater sparked Saturday’s house fire in Chesterfield, according to the Chesterfield County Fire Marshals Office.
Two people who were inside the home along the 5200 block of West Hundred Rd. were able to make it out of the house alive. One person was treated for smoke inhalation, Chesterfield Fire and EMS spokesman Lt. Jason Elmore said in an email.
