Early morning fire destroys home in Biloxi

An early morning fire in Biloxi left one home, car, and part of a neighboring home destroyed.

Biloxi Fire Department got the call just after 5 a.m. to Travia Avenue off of Irish Hill Drive. Once units arrived on scene the flames had engulfed all sides of the home. It took firefighters around 30 minutes to contain the blaze. No one was hurt.

The two residents of the home made it out before the fire department arrived with no injuries.

News 25 was told it will be a total loss of the home and the vehicle on the property.  “Our guys did a great job of doing an initial attack and from keeping the house next door from catching on fire. Unfortunately, the house behind us was unable to be saved. It was too far gone when our crews arrived, but they did a great job.”

Investigators are still working on the cause of the fire.
