CHESAPEAKE, Va. (WAVY) — A vacant two-story home in the Deep Creek area of Chesapeake sustained “significant” damage as the result of a fire Tuesday evening, a city fire official said.

Firefighters got the call at 8:29 p.m. in the 2900 block of S. Military Hwy., and when Engine Company 28 arrived six minutes later, they found visible smoke and flames coming from the home, Chesapeake Fire Lt. Shaun Williams said.

Crews used multiple hoselines and were able to put out the fire by 8:51 p.m. No firefighters were injured.

Fire investigators are working to determine the fire’s cause.

New York moves to limit kids’ access to ‘addictive feeds’
New York’s state legislature has passed a bill that would prohibit social media companies from showing so-called “addictive feeds” to children under 18, unless they obtain parental consent. The Stop Addictive Feeds Exploitation (SAFE) for Kids Act defines an addictive feed as one where the content is recommended or prioritized based on information about the user or the user’s device — basically, these are the algorithmic news feeds used by most social apps. New York Governor Kathy Hochul is expected to sign the bill; her office has already released a statement praising its passage, along with the passage of a related New York Child Data Protection Act, which prohibits online platforms from collecting or selling personal data from users under 18 without informed consent.
