Last night in Brisbane's north, firefighters heroically rescued a woman from a devastating house fire. The incident occurred shortly after 9pm, when both police and firefighters rushed to the scene outside a home in Virginia. Neighbors were alarmed by the sound of screams as the flames engulfed the house.
According to witnesses, some of the brave neighbors attempted to enter the burning home in order to help the occupants. One neighbor described the chaos, stating that they had broken through the side glass door, only to be met with a wall of smoke upon entry. It was later revealed that a 37-year-old woman, who uses a wheelchair, was living in the home.
As the fire raged on, the woman was unable to escape on her own and was in dire need of rescue. Thankfully, emergency services arrived just in time and were able to save her from the inferno. The woman was treated for smoke inhalation and taken to the hospital for further care. Additionally, three police officers were also treated for smoke inhalation at the scene.
Once the fire was extinguished, fire investigators arrived to determine the cause of the blaze. They are expected to remain on the scene for the majority of the day. The area has been deemed a crime scene, and authorities are working diligently to gather any evidence that may aid in their investigation.
