A resident with mobility issues was among the occupants able to safely exit a home fire in Richmond Wednesday morning, and no serious were reported, according to fire officials.
Just before 7 a.m., Richmond firefighters responded to the 300 block of 42nd Street and arrived to find smoke and flames coming from the rear corner of the residence, according to Richmond Firefighters Local 188, which posted video footage of the firefight.
