A 2-ALARM FIRE IN VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA, DESTROYED SIX condominium homes early Monday morning. The fire was first reported at 12:45 am and was already well underway when the alarm was dispatched to the firehouse directly across the street. High winds were feeding the fast-growing fire, but the quick response of mere seconds allowed the FD to rapidly contain the fire.
