HENRICO COUNTY, Va. — One person suffered a minor injury while escaping a burning home in Henrico County early Friday morning. That person was one of three family members who made it out of the house fire alive, according to Henrico Fire spokesman Capt. Daniel Rosenbaum. Henrico Fire crews were first alerted to the house fire along the 4900 block of Chapman Lane at about 3:20 a.m.
“First arriving units reported fire from the front of the residence. Initial fire attack crews learned that the entire family of three adults had made it out of the house safely,” Capt.
