Good morning, Chesapeake.

A house fire on Keats Station in Chesapeake displaced residents Sunday afternoon when the fire was reported at 1:53 p.m. and controlled by 2:10 p.m.—no injuries were reported and the cause is under investigation.

Chesapeake City Council is considering a 2-cent increase in the real estate tax to fund new fire and police upgrades—public feedback is invited—to help pay for improvements in the FY 2026 budget.

Alexzandria Hunt was fired from the Hampton VA Medical Center during mass layoffs and was reinstated with back pay after a court order — she is on administrative leave until she begins work at the new North Battlefield Outpatient Clinic in Chesapeake.

The clinic will have a ribbon cutting on April 10 and will open on April 17.
