Fire personnel were called to 600 block of S. Laurel around 1:15 am last night. According to reports a electrical outlet had burst into flame, but no larger conflagration and no injuries reported. The house electrical and frame was inspected for any further problems. A neighbor reported that a Dominion truck had been doing work earlier in the afternoon in the back alley, but no word on any connection between that and the fire. Neighborhood thanks to Richmond emergency crews. If nothing else, this serves as a good reminder to check the batteries on smoke detectors.
