When firefighters arrived on the scene they found smoke coming from a vacant house. An offensive attack was launched and a Flameguard X-Tinguish fire suppression tool (FST) was deployed.

An FST is an aerosol product that generates mist that expands to flood the space, knocking down flames within seconds and reducing temperatures.

The fire was declared under control at 9:57 am.

A search of the building found no one inside.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
