NORFOLK, Va. — A fallen tree limb that took down a power line caused an electrical fire at a business along N. Military Highway in Norfolk Wednesday night.
Norfolk Fire-Rescue got the call around 6:30 p.m. in the 6800 block of N. Military Highway.
Crews found heavy smoke coming from a building, but they couldn't get inside because a live power line was down on the structure, according to the fire department. They began a defensive attack.
Dominion Energy had to de-energize the line, and at that point, fire crews could begin an interior attack.
The fire was marked under control at 7:08 p.m. Wednesday.
The fire department said the business was closed at the time and no one was hurt.
