BROOKSVILLE, Fla. — A house in Brooksville is a total loss after it caught on fire, Hernando County Fire and Emergency Services says.
Crews responded to the fire shortly before 3 a.m. and found heavy smoke and flames coming from the home. They initiated a "fire attack" from the outside of the house, based on the fire's condition.
The house was a seasonal home, and its owners live out of state. Thankfully, no one was home at the time of the fire.
The fire was put out just after 3 a.m., but the extensive damage rendered the home a total loss, fire officials say.
The cause and origin are still unknown, and the fire is being investigated by the State Fire Marshall's Office, Hernando Fire says.
