Heavy smoke and flames were visible as Portsmouth firefighters approached North Street Monday.

The fire went to two alarms as Portsmouth firefighters called for additional resources.

“The smoke was probably 8 or 10 feet above the house,” a neighbor, Josh Wynn, told WAVY. 

“I saw the flames coming up from the third floor and then the firetrucks came and did their thing,” Wynn explained.

The fire remains under investigation.
