Written by: Virginia Beach Injury Law

Virginia Beach, VA (February 9, 2021) – One person was injured in a fire incident in the Virginia Beach area early Monday morning. At around 3:50 a.m., on February 8, emergency crews were called to the scene of a fire incident on Neptune Avenue.

Reports from authorities show that a fire broke out at a home in the 1000 block of Neptune Avenue during the morning hours near the MacDonald Park area. The incident caused severe damage to a one-story single-family home on the roadway.

Firefighters arrived at the scene and discovered fire coming out of a window on the home. Crews were able to quickly take control of the fire. One woman inside the home was transported to a local hospital for the treatment of injuries. However, a dog was discovered deceased inside the home. At this time, the cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Our thoughts are with the woman who was injured in this incident. We hope for her full recovery.

Fire Incidents in Virginia

Each year, tens of thousands of Americans are negatively impacted by fires. Whether people are victimized in house fires, at their place of employment, or on another person’s property, these incidents can result in the loss of property and overwhelmingly painful injuries. Although numerous fires are caused by negligence, there are some instances where fires are a result of defective appliances, faulty electrical work, and even heating or air conditioning systems.

People who are injured in fires often require immediate medical attention. In addition to severe burns, victims often sustain internal organ damages as a result of smoke inhalation. The impacts of fires and injuries are far-reaching. Many victims are left permanently scarred and have difficulties moving forward, both mentally and physically, after being harmed. In some cases, victims are able to pursue legal options to obtain compensation to help alleviate the impact of lost wages, medical treatment, and other financial burdens they face.
