The wood frame house in the Lincoln Heights community was vacant and it appeared the fire started in the front part of the house. Damage was limited to the porch and one of the front rooms.
It is not clear how the fire started, Padgett said.

The Davie Volunteer Fire Department should be in its new station by late fall, according to Chief David Padgett.
