Beyonce’s childhood house in Houston caught fire on Christmas morning, prompting a swift response from the Houston Fire Department. The fire-fighters reportedly arrived at the scene within three to five minutes. Fortunately, the family currently residing in the house managed to escape safely.

District Chief Justin Barnes stated, “We had the fire contained in about 10 minutes,” indicating a quick and effective response to the incident. The two-storeyed brick house, located in the heart of Houston, was built in 1946 and underwent remodelling in 2016. According to Harris County property records, it is a three-bedroom home and is classified as a French traditional home. A realtor listed it for sale several years ago, noting in the listing it’s an “early childhood home” of Beyonce. It was purchased in May 2019 for between $420,001 and $482,000.
