On Wed at approx 1134 am local fire along with ems was dispatched to the area of Leesport Farmers Market for a reported caller reporting a house fire. The corrected location was found to be Fugi road off of Adams Road with PD o/s with working fire. PD arrived first and deployed ABC Extingisher followed by EMT Massa deployed his own extingisher from his POV. Fire was still noticed running the walls when the first engine arrived and command arrived. A quick size up was given advising the home was locked and smoke alarms was sounding and that the fire was initally outside and extending inwards. Fire Dept deployed an attack line knocking bulk of the fire down and crews accessed the residence and determined no one was home at the time of the fire. EMS staged and was not needed.
