A blaze that spread through five apartments Monday caused more than

$100,000 damage to a Lake Edward complex, Virginia Beach fire

officials said. It was the second major fire in the neighborhood in

a week. No one was hurt in Monday's fire in the 700 block of

Atterbury Court, said fire spokesman Chase Sargent. The fire started

in one apartment and moved to the others through the attic areas, he

said. A man from the nearby Campus East section was charged with

interfering with firefighters and driving over a hose. Last

Wednesday, an electrical fire on Dodington Court badly damaged two

townhouses. The fires were not related.
