Fresno firefighters battled a large blaze Monday afternoon that caused significant damage to a vacant home on the 1200 block of West Vassar Avenue.
According to the Fresno Fire Department, crews responded just before 1 p.m. on October 13, 2025, after multiple 911 calls reported heavy smoke in the area. When firefighters arrived, they found thick smoke and flames pouring from a boarded-up, vacant residence.

No one was found inside, and no injuries were reported, officials said.
Cause Under Investigation
The blaze was brought under control after intensive efforts, but the home sustained extensive damage throughout the structure.
Fire investigators are still working to determine the cause of the fire.
