The Virginia Beach (VA) Fire Department deployed three fireboats, including Fireboat One, Monday to combat a massive fire that destroyed a multi-million-dollar home on McCullough Lane, reports 13newsnow.com.
Officials have not released the cause of the blaze, which gave firefighters a challenge as it was located across the water from First Landing State Park, which boasts only two hydrants in the area.
The fireboat is not used strictly for house fires, as its four-person crew can assist in marina fires and search and recovery missions via infrared technology.
Officials say the last time a fireboat was deployed to a house fire was July 4, 2016, on Lone Pine Road.
