One person went to a hospital with injuries after a fire broke out at a home in Lynchburg. The Lynchburg Fire Department responded to a structure fire in the 1300 block of Bedford Avenue around 7:15 p.m. Saturday. Neighbors had called to report fire and smoke coming from the back of the house. Firefighters found the back of the home was on fire, and say one person was inside when the fire started. The man sustained second-degree burns as he escaped the home and was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The home was damaged in the fire and another house behind the structure sustained heat damage from the flames. The Lynchburg Fire Department says the fire began on the outside of the home on the ground level. The cause has not been determined.
