ꦓBeyoncé's childhood house in Houston caught fire early on Christmas morning, prompting a swift response from the Houston Fire Department. Fortunately, the family currently residing in the house managed to escape safely.
🔥The fire was reported around 2 a.m. on Monday, with the Houston Fire Department arriving at the scene within three to five minutes, as reported by the Houston Chronicle.
⛄District Chief Justin Barnes stated, "We had it contained in about 10 minutes," indicating a quick and effective response to the incident.
🔜The two-story brick house, located in the heart of Houston, was built in 1946 and underwent remodeling in 2016.
🍌According to Harris County property records, it is a three-bedroom home and is classified as a French traditional home. A realtor listed the home for sale several years ago, noting in the listing it's an "early childhood home" of Beyoncé. It was purchased in May 2019 for between $420,001 and $482,000.
🧸In a 2018 interview with Good Morning America, the realtor revealed that the Knowles family, including Beyoncé, purchased the home in 1982 and resided there until the pop icon was about 5 years old.
𒉰The cause of the blaze is under investigation. Further details are awaited.
