“We had a fully involved vacant structure,” Capt. Charles Alexander of the Springfield Fire/Rescue Division said.

“It’s a total loss,” he said.

The house was vacant, it’s not believed anyone was inside and the cause of the fire is under investigation, Alexander said.

However, since there were no utilities on at the time of the fire, it is being considered suspicious.

No firefighters were injured.
