Beyoncé’s childhood home was the site of an early Christmas morning fire, but the family inside managed to escape unharmed.
The fire broke out at around 2 a.m. on Monday, December 25, and the Houston Fire Department quickly arrived at the two-story brick house within three to five minutes, according to the Houston Chronicle.
“We had it contained in about 10 minutes,” Houston Fire Department District Chief Justin Barnes told the newspaper.
Beyoncé Knowles’ family purchased the home on the 2400 block of Rosedale in 1982, and Beyoncé lived there until she was 5 years old. She was seen taking photos of the property when she was in town for her Renaissance World Tour.
The home, located in the historic Riverside Terrace neighborhood, was constructed in 1946.
