Three Walker County Firefighters broke into a burning mobile home to rescue the elderly resident; two other occupants of the home had managed to escape, but when firefighters found 71 year old Nevely Lewis she was in cardiac arrest.

She was revived with CPR and air-lifted to Erlanger Medical Center for treatment; she was later transferred to an Atlanta area hospital for treatment of serious burns.

The incident took place on Myers Road in Chickamauga.

Fire Chief Randy Camp said the late night blaze is being investigated as a possible case of arson.
