Jacksonville, Fl — A house fire in Jacksonville’s Magnolia Gardens community left two people hospitalized, one with critical injuries.
Jacksonville Fire and Rescue rushed to the home on Breve Drive just after 4 am.
“Our crews found that two people were walking out as they were coming in so one person was left unaccounted for. They immediately went in for a search of the house looking to find the victim. They found the victim pulled them out. They’re in critical condition”, said Eric Prosswimmer, JFRD Public Information Officer.
