CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. -- One person was killed and one person was last listed in critical condition after they were pulled from a burning Chesterfield home Tuesday morning, according to Chesterfield Fire Capt. Joe Harvey. Harvey said a neighbor driving on Lansmill Drive in the Mill Side subdivision of South Chesterfield called 911 at 1:17 a.m. when they spotted the fire.
Fire crews arrived five minutes later and found the mobile home fully engulfed in flames.
Firefighters pulled the two victims from the fire. Firefighters also rescued a dog from the flames and the pet is expected to be okay.
It took fire crews 30 minutes to extinguish the fire.
Capt. Harvey told CBS 6 nothing about the fire appeared to be suspicious and the cause of the fire was still under investigation.
Investigators walked in and out of the destroyed home with a K9 and cameras.
An officer used a drone to take images of the destruction from the sky.
Witnesses said neighbors pounded on the windows and doors of the home on fire and other nearby homes to warn about the flames.
Another neighbor braved the heat and flames to remove five propane tanks from the property.
Wendi Toombs lives near the fire and knows the victims.
"I hope for the best for them and I hope everything is going to be okay for them," Toombs said of the injured victim.
Detectives are waiting to notify the victim's next of kin before releasing their identities.
