CLEARWATER — Firefighters responded to a house fire Sunday morning that left the home on Evergreen Avenue a loss.
Clearwater Fire Rescue officials reported there were no injuries.
The house's only occupant, a 91-year-old man, escaped after he heard a smoke alarm, Bay News 9 reported. A central heating system may have started the blaze.
The fire, in the 1300 block of Evergreen Avenue, was extinguished in about 15 minutes.
Fire officials said Sunday they are awaiting a report from the fire marshal before confirming the cause.
