JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Authorities are investigating what started a fire at a home in Northwest Jacksonville Sunday morning.

According to the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department, the fire happened around 3:45 a.m. at Notter Avenue and Long Branch Boulevard near the Brentwood area.

When crews arrived on the scene they found a two-story home engulfed with heavy flames.

No one was home when the fire started and no injuries were reported during the incident.
