NASA Steam Plant Fire Tamed | Virginia Beach News

A major fire erupted early Thursday at the Hampton NASA Steam Plant, sending flames sky-high from the debris pit. First responders raced to the scene, calling in heavy backup as they battled the blaze from the outside due to structural instability. After a tense, coordinated effort involving NASA, local police, multiple fire departments, and even the power company, crews eventually gained entry to fully extinguish the fire. Thankfully, all workers evacuated safely and no firefighters were injured. By 2:24 AM, the main flames were out, and crews stayed on-site to ensure total suppression and debris cleanup—with Hampton Public Works lending a hand. It was a textbook example of teamwork under pressure, with safety always the top priority. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
