Henry Rosenbaum, Battalion Chief and Fire Marshal for the Division of Fire, noted Henrico firefighters were dispatched on Saturday afternoon to Osborne Turnpike to rescue a woman trapped inside her house, which was on fire. The woman had been sleeping but was alerted by a working smoke detector and was able to relocate to another section of her house and call for help. As a result of the Division of Fire’s Smoke Alarm Initiative, this woman’s life was saved.
