A malfunctioning kerosene heater burst into flames in the Tallyrand area Wednesday morning, igniting a residential home.
Crews with the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department are responded to the 1400 block of Florida Ave around 6 a.m. When they arrived they found a home with fire showing from the roof.
The fire was later declared under control.
The house was called 'all clear' by crews and Red Cross is providing assistance for one adult.
