VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Firefighters in Virginia Beach battled a large fire that consumed a house Monday night.
According to Virginia Beach Police and Fire Dispatch, the fire was reported in 1500 block of McCullough Lane at 8:20 p.m. That's in the Alanton neighborhood, along the waterway and across from First Landing State Park.
Photos and video from the scene show a home fully engulfed in flames right along the water.
The Virginia Beach Fire Department says both land-based crews as well as a Virginia Beach Fire Boat worked to bring the fire under control, which was a challenge due to the limited access roadway and having only one fire hydrant accessible.
All told, about 40 firefighters were on scene to fight the fire, which was brought under control by 9:29 p.m.
There are no reports of any injuries.
A Virginia Beach fire official said the house was under renovation and Zillow lists it as a $2 million home.
The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
