Crews battle house fire on Philpotts Road in Norfolk

Dispatch said a house fire happened in the 800 block of Philpotts Road Wednesday around 11:11 p.m. The home was vacant, so no one was injured.

NORFOLK, Va. — Crews are investigating a fire that broke out late Wednesday night by Tidewater Drive. 

Dispatch said they got a call Wednesday, Sept. 23 just after 11 p.m. about a house fire that happened in 800 block of Philpotts Road. 

A spokesperson for the Norfolk Fire-Rescue said when teams got there, flames were coming from three sides of the building.

It's the same house that another house fire occurred on Sept. 17. After that fire, the Red Cross helped a resident find living arrangements, so nobody was there for the Sept. 23 fire.

The house's roof and the floor had been damaged in the earlier fire, so teams chose to put out this fire from the outside.

Nobody was injured. The fire officially came under control at 1:12 a.m. Thursday.

The fire department doesn't know what caused this incident yet, but fire marshals are investigating.
