NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (WAVY) - Officials say an afternoon house fire in Newport News caused an estimated $10,000 in damage.

According to Chief J. Douglas Carper with the Newport News Fire Department, crews were dispatched to a home in the 3300 block of Williams Street shortly before 1 p.m. Monday.

Carper says crews saw light smoke showing from the home. He says the cause of the fire was determined to be "combustibles too close to the clothes dryer."
