Firefighters investigating what caused a two-story house fire in St. Petersburg

Fire officials say the house was vacant.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Firefighters are still working to determine what caused a two-story house fire in a St. Petersburg neighborhood.

According to St. Petersburg Fire Rescue, crews responded to a fire at around 6:30 p.m. Monday near the 2800 block of Coffee Pot Boulevard NE. When firefighters arrived they say they discovered the two-story home completely ablaze. 

Fire rescue says the house was under renovation so nobody was home at the time. Firefighters add they were able to extinguish the fire and made sure it did not spread to other houses.

In the days since, fire rescue officials say the property has been turned back over to the owners. 

"We continue to compile all the data that we have received since the fire occurred. The investigation continues and has not specified a cause at this time," a press release reads.

Fire officials say investigators conducted interviews with the homeowner and possible witnesses as part of their investigation.
