HOUSTON, Texas (NEWSnet/AP) — Beyoncé’s childhood home caught fire early on Christmas morning, and the family now living there escaped safely.
The fire was reported at about 2 a.m. Monday and the Houston Fire Department arrived on the scene of the two-story brick house within three to five minutes, the Houston Chronicle reported.
“We had it contained in about 10 minutes,” Houston Fire Department District Chief Justin Barnes told the newspaper.
The home was built in 1946. Beyoncé Knowles' family bought the home on the 2400 block of Rosedale in 1982 and Beyoncé lived there until she was 5 years old.
The singer-songwriter was seen taking photos of the property when she was visiting her hometown while on her Renaissance World Tour.
The cause of the blaze is under investigation.
