Fire crews respond to house fire in Bedford, discover ‘extreme hoarding condition’

At least one person was treated by medic

BEDFORD, Va. – Crews responded to a house fire in Bedford on Friday night.

At least one person was treated by a medic, according to the Bedford Fire Department.

Crews arrived at 520 South Street to find heavy smoke coming from the eaves of a two-story home.

They also discovered an “extreme hoarding condition," according to the Forest Volunteer Fire Department.

Crews were able to get the fire under control but the hoarding conditions “will contribute to a long overhaul,” according to the Bedford Fire Department.
