A Richmond man was taken to the hospital overnight, after he ran back into his burning home to look for his wife. 

 

The fire broke out around 1:30am on Moberly Avenue in downtown Richmond. Fire crews say the man who lived there ran back into his home, when he didn’t see his wife outside. Fire crews later discovered she was at a neighbor’s house.

Investigators say the man was taken to an area hospital and treated for smoke inhalation. The couple’s home was destroyed.

 

There is no word this morning on what started that fire.
