Several people are safe after a fire destroyed a Knotts Island home on Friday morning.
Virginia Beach firefighters traveled about 30 miles to Knotts Island to help extinguish the fire, which had engulfed a single-story home by 7:15 a.m., according to an agency news release.
Firefights pulled water from a nearby ferry dock to extinguish the flames, putting the fire out around 8:30 a.m.
Four adults, two children and their pets escaped the blaze. One Virginia Beach firefighter was injured, but is expected to survive.
The cause of the fire hasn’t been determined yet.
