CHESAPEAKE, Va. — Firefighters in Chesapeake spent the night Friday working to put out a fire that started in a shed before spreading to two homes.
Just after 9:50 p.m., several residents called 911, saying a shed was on a fire in the 100 block of Ford Street, which is between S. Military Highway and I-64.
Crews arrived to find a shed on fire that spread to the rears of two homes on Ford Street. Siding had been melted off a third home to the rear of the property along Alice Street.
Two families—seven adults and one child—got out safely but have been displaced due to the damage. They are getting help from the Red Cross.
