The Bristol Virginia Fire Department responded to two house fires within approximately 90 minutes on Monday, August 10, 2026.
The first fire was reported at 4:40 p.m. Firefighters located the fire in the basement and extinguished it. The cause remains under investigation.
As crews were recovering hoses, supply lines, and other equipment, a second house fire was dispatched at 6:15 p.m. Firefighters arrived to find the home fully involved in flames.
Because of the high temperatures and demands placed on crews, the Bristol Tennessee Fire Department was called to assist with extinguishing the fire. A weak hydrant in the area also created water-supply challenges, prompting a request for tanker support. Washington County Fire Rescue and Goodson-Kinderhook Volunteer Fire and Rescue responded with large water tankers, while the Bristol Life Saving Crew provided an ambulance and emergency medical support.
Both fires remain under investigation with assistance from the Bristol Virginia Police Department.
