HENRICO COUNTY, Va. -- A man previously listed in critical condition, has now died after Henrico County firefighters pulled him from a West End home early Thursday.
Fire crews were called to the 1700 block of Shewalt Drive just before 3 a.m. Thursday.
"[They] immediately recognized they needed to go into rescue mode from the reports they're getting from the neighbor that a person lived in the house and they suspected them still be inside," Henrico Fire Battalion Chief Jackson Baynard said. "Our first crew went in, they identified a victim inside. They were able to make a quick grab, quick rescue, and get that person out of the structure."
Baynard said crews immediately began administering life-saving measures to the victim, who was taken to VCU Medical Center. He was later pronounced dead Thursday evening.
Shewalt Drive is located near East Parham and Hungary roads, not far from Brookland Middle School.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the family right now," Baynard said. "And We're just praying for him."
