Investigators are working to identify the cause of a house fire near Alta and Durango drives Thursday night.

Las Vegas Fire Department spokesman Tim Szymanski said firefighters responded to the 300 block of Gulf Port Court at 9:24 p.m. after neighbors reported smoke was coming from the home.

“On arrival firefighters found smoke coming from the vents on the roof of a two-story wood frame stucco house,” Szymanski said in a news release. “Firefighters entered the home and found heavy fire conditions on the second floor of the house. It took firefighters approximately 30 minutes to bring the fire under control.”

Szymanski said the home was undergoing a significant renovation “and much of the interior of the house (had) been removed.”

No one was injured. A damage estimate was pending.
