The fire was reported about 9:25 a.m. at a single-family residence in the 14000 block of Hartford Street.
When firefighters arrived, a concerned neighbor expressed fear that someone could still be inside. A search showed that nobody was home, said Capt. Barry Parker.

Parker said the fire caused "major smoke damage throughout the home," and it was red-tagged and considered unsafe to stay in.
