VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — There is no cause determined yet for a large fire at a military housing complex in Virginia Beach Monday.
The Virginia Beach Fire Department responded to a fire at the Liberty Military housing complex near Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek in the 2100 block of Wellings Court at 4:31 p.m.
WAVY viewers who were a good distance away from the fire captured photos of large plumes of black smoke.
When crews arrived, they found flames and heavy smoke coming from the detached garage behind the townhouses, according to VBFD public information officer Barbara Morrison. The fire spread quickly to the other two connected garages, and two vehicles were heavily damaged.
As visible in images provided by the fire department, the fire also caused damage to the siding of surrounding homes and fences due to the extreme heat produced from the flames.
Investigators are working to determine the cause of the fire.
