RICHMOND-PETERSBURG Va. (CNN) - A 10-year-old boy is alive after escaping a fire in his home in Virginia.
Firefighters say if it wasn t for his dogs, that little boy might not have made it. Those two dogs are heroes, Chief Dennis Hale, Dinwiddie County Fire and EMS said.
When the first call to 9-1-1 came into Dinwiddie County dispatch, Dinwiddie County firefighters weren t thinking about the fire as they heading towards the house. Because the whole time you re responding, you know the comments are, there s a child in the residence, Hale said.
When the first fire engine arrives on scene, Hale said they reported seeing flames coming from the front of the trailer.
