Details: Firefighters arrived to the 10,000 square foot home to find a heavy volume of fire coming through the roof. Early concerns were to keep the fire away from the house next door and contain the fire to the 2.5 million-dollar home. The house was new construction and the owners were preparing to move in later this week. There was nobody in the house when the fire broke out and no injuries were reported. Workers were in the house as late as 7:30 p.m. last evening doing some carpet work and preparing for the new owners to move in. Firefighters were able to safely move some boxes and one automobile from the garage to prevent them from being damaged. The cause of the fire is not immediately known and is still under investigation.
