CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. — Two people were unharmed but lost their Chesterfield County home to a fire.

Fire crews were called to the 1600 block of Inspiration Drive, off Robious Road, at about 9:45 p.m. Monday and found smoke and flames coming from one side of the home, according to Chesterfield Fire and EMS.

"Investigators believe the fire started in the kitchen and is cooking-related," a Chesterfield Fire and EMS spokesperson said. "Forty percent of our house fires so far this year in Chesterfield have started in the kitchen, so we are urging people not to leave cooking unattended."
