LAWRENCE JACKSON/The Virginian-Pilot

Fire swept a partially demolished Norfolk building in the 1900 block

of Lafayette Blvd. near Somme Avenue Tuesday afternoon. Norfolk

Battalion Chief Glenn Jones said the blaze may have started when

steel being cut by construction workers caused a spark. The fire was

reported at 3:15, and the building was fully engulfed when

firefighters arrived about five minutes later.
