Thursday night at approximately 9:35 fire units were called to a residential structure fire at 23502 Back Street in Accomac. Fire units from Tasley, Onley, Onancock and Parksley responded and found the two story structure fully involved. Firefighters were hampered by high winds at the time. They were eventually able to gain control.

But heavy winds resulted in the fire rekindling and units were recalled to the scene at 2:35 this morning to find the structure again fully involved.

The Virginia State Police and the Accomack County Sheriff's Department are investigating.

Virginia State Police have determined this  fire was the result of arson consistent with other arson fires in the area over the past two months.
