Virginia Furniture Store Goes Down

4 comments

A LARGE FURNITURE STORE AND WAREHOUSE IN NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, was destroyed in a fire Monday morning.  The fire was first reported around 4:20 am by a street-sweeper who spotted smoke coming from the building.  The first-arriving units found an active fire in the warehouse area.  Intially they attacked it from the inside, but when the fire was found to have extended into the roof area, hose teams were pulled out and exterior operations were begun.  The roof collapsed shortly after, around 5 am.

There was a firewall between the warehouse and the showroom and it helped contain the fire, but  the building is considered a total loss.  The fire was marked as out shortly after 8 am.

    Fortunately the Norfolk Fire Co. was able to bring in their Aerial Fog Assault Team. As can be readily seen, that had a dramatic effect upon the heavy fire condition.
