ILLUSTRATION: Staff photo by BILL TIERNAN/

A fire in the 8900 block of Hampton Blvd. in Norfolk delayed traffic

for several hours Friday afternoon. The fire was started when a

welding torch, used by one of the workers demolishing an old

cork-products plant, ignited some dust, fire officials said. No one

was injured.
