ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. - A seemingly abandoned home caught fire and was destroyed early Friday morning, according to the Orange County Fire Rescue Department.
Firefighters responded to the home on Mileham drive around 10 a.m. and found it completely engulfed in flames, officials said. Photos showed what appeared to be nearly every part of the home on fire, as huge columns of smoke rose into the air.
The entire structure collapsed as firefighters were fighting the fire, according to a post on X, formerly Twitter, by Orange County Fire Rescue. "Everyone safely out," the agency said. No injuries were reported.
