Early on Christmas morning, flames engulfed Beyoncé’s childhood home in Houston, Texas. The blaze erupted at the two-story residence around 2:07 a.m., leaving visible scars on the property once featured in the singer’s early videos.
Located in the heart of Houston’s Third Ward, the home holds immense sentimental value for Beyoncé, having served as her childhood haven. Thankfully, the fire caused no injuries. A family of four, the current residents, safely evacuated before firefighters arrived.
Responding swiftly, Houston Fire Department units reached the scene within 3-5 minutes. They found the house engulfed in flames, primarily on the front side. HFD launched a swift attack, containing the bulk of the fire within 10 minutes. To ensure complete extinguishment, firefighters cut into the roof and eaves, addressing the attic and hidden embers.
While the cause of the fire remains under investigation, the incident has cast a shadow over the festive season for Beyoncé and her fans. The iconic property, once a symbol of happy memories, now stands as a reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of cherished spaces.
