No injuries in Friday house fire

CLOVIS - Clovis fire crews battled a house fire Friday afternoon, with no injuries reported.

The fire was still under investigation Saturday afternoon, but Clovis Deputy Fire Chief Byron Dixon said the preliminary assumption is the fire was accidental in nature with a still undetermined incendiary device.

The department about 90 minutes to knock down after receiving the call at 4:09 p.m. Dixon said the house was condemned and unoccupied with no utiilty services, and the main goal of the department was to prevent spread to the two neighboring houses.
