No one was injured after a house caught fire Wednesday morning in central Las Vegas.

The fire was reported at 5:17 a.m. at 960 G St., near Washington Avenue, according to Las Vegas Fire Department spokesman Tim Szymanski.

Crews got the fire under control within 30 minutes. No injuries were reported.

The home was vacant, Szymanski said, but was frequently used by squatters.

The fire is still under investigation but squatters may have caused the fire, he said.
