BEDFORD, Va. (WFXR) — The Bedford Fire Department (BFD) has released body cam footage after a house fire resulted in the death of three dogs and left another injured on Tuesday afternoon.
The fire department said around 1:25 p.m., crews were dispatched to Magnolia Drive for a house fire. When they arrived at the scene, they found the home in flames.
The occupant told firefighters that their pets were still trapped in the house.

After the fire was brought under control, crews completed another search of the house.
