NORFOLK, Va. - Crews with Norfolk Fire-Rescue responded to a fire at Colonna's Shipyard, located at 400 Indian River Road, Friday night. News 3 sent a photographer to the scene.
The call came in at 9:21 p.m.
The Norfolk fire chief told us that the fire was below the deck of a 100 ft. tugboat.
Firefighters made entry below the deck, applying water and foam to suppress the flames.
Around 40 firefighters from Norfolk and Chesapeake responded to the incident.
No injuries have been reported.
As of 11 p.m., there is still an active scene as firefighters are working to bring the fire under control. Officials say they could be there a while due to access issues.
