Virginia Fire Chief Allen Lewis tells WDIO-TV (https://bit.ly/2imfksJ ) there was “no survivable space in the building.”
The St. Louis County Sheriff’s Office later confirmed that the body of a 56-year-old woman was found in the ruins.
Two people were able to escape the blaze but suffered serious injuries. They were taken to a Duluth hospital.
The home was destroyed. There is no word on what may have caused the fire.
