House Fire In Atlantic, Virginia


A woman was fatally injured in a house fire on Nock's Landing Road early Tuesday morning.

The house was fully involved when firefighters arrived on the scene shortly after the call came in to 911 at 4:41 a.m.

The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Virginia State Police and the woman who died has not been identified because of the pending investigation, but Atlantic Fire Chief David Grant stated that a male who emerged from the burning house told a bystander his wife had not gotten out after it caught fire.

Units from Atlantic, New Church, Bloxom, Chincoteague and Greenbackville responded to the blaze. Emergency personnel remained on the scene until 9:40 a.m.
