Fire crews put out a house fire in Enfield, N.S., Tuesday morning, but not before much of the building was destroyed. 

The Enfield Volunteer Fire Department responded to the fire on White Road before 9:30 a.m.

Deputy Chief Dale Copp said no one was in the house at the time and no injuries have been reported, but the roof collapsed and the house appeared to be a total loss.

Copp said there were no obvious signs the fire was suspicious, but it was too early to determine the cause

The blaze was contained as of 11 a.m. but crews remained on scene, dousing hot spots.

Two other nearby fire stations — Elmsdale and Lantz — also sent tankers, fire engines and crews.
