Clearwater house a 'complete loss' after fire

CLEARWATER – An unoccupied home just west of Missouri Avenue was completely destroyed by fire Sunday night.

The single-family home at 1121 South St. was engulfed in flames when Clearwater firefighters arrived shortly after 8 p.m. It took firefighters an hour to put the fire out, said Clearwater public safety spokeswoman Joelle Castelli.

No injuries were reported and the house appeared to be vacant. Fire officials deemed the home "a complete loss."

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
