Vacant Visalia home goes up in flames

VISALIA, Calif. (KFSN) -- A vacant home in Visalia went up in flames this morning. Visalia fire crews were called to the structure fire at around 6 a.m.

Upon arrival, crews noticed heavy fire coming from the rear of the abandoned home.

The fire then spread to the attic, making it too dangerous for crews to go inside. The fire crews did confirm no one was inside.
