Firefighters responded to a small house fire in the 700 block of De la Vina and quickly extinguished flames coming from the back of the home.

De la Vina was blocked from Canon Perdido to Cota for about 2 hours as 3 engine teams secured the area and searched for the origin of the fire.  No one was hurt in the blaze and damage was confined to one room of the old Victorian house that had been split into 5 units. 

No estimate was given as to when the residents would be allowed to re-enter the dwelling.
