Denison firefighters were called back Saturday morning to a house that had burned the night before, after the fire started up again in the vacant home.

The first call came in around 9:24 p.m. Friday for the house near North Bush Avenue and West Johnson Street, according to the time the Denison Fire Department gave KTEN. KXII put the call at about 9 p.m. and reported that fire was showing from the roof when the first crews pulled up.

Nobody was inside. The house was empty and in the middle of a remodel, both stations reported, and no injuries were reported.

Crews put the fire out Friday night, but it rekindled the next morning, fire officials told KTEN.

Investigators have not said how the fire began. Fire officials told both stations the cause remains under investigation.

Neither station's report included a damage estimate, and the department had not posted a public statement about the fire on the city's news page as of Sunday. KTEN published photos of the damaged house.
