Lake Ridge, Va. — Three people are in the hospital tonight after a three-alarm blaze in Lake Ridge.
Fire and rescue crews at 3:40 p.m. were called to the 3400 block of Caledonia Circle, just off Cotton Mill Drive, after flames broke out in a three-story town house.
Three people were home at the time of the fire, and one person became trapped on the third floor of the house. Two others tried to rescue the victim but were injured and fled the burning house, said Prince William fire and rescue Battalion Chief Joseph Robertson.
After fire crews arrived, they were able to rescue the third person who was trapped on the top floor, said Robertson.
Two of the victims were flown and a third was taken by ambulance to local hospitals for evaluation. Officials did not say if their conditions were life threatening.
Six people were displaced by the fire. The Red Cross is assisting them, said Robertson.
Fire officials are still working to determine the cause of the blaze.
