2 Alarm Fire at MCI Norfolk

A 2 alarm fire broke out today on the top floor of an administration building at MCI Norfolk, a medium-security correctional facility. The fire started on the third floor and spread to the attic and roof of the building. Firefighters faced difficulties, both with the hot July temperatures, and because of the inability to secure power to the building. Ambulances were staged at the gate, in the event of injury.
