An early morning house fire, possibly caused by a generator, occurred in Charlotte County.

The Charlotte County Fire Department responded to the fire at around 4:33 a.m., on Monday on Padula Street.

Another resident was inside an RV located near the property.

According to CCFD, the home was already engulfed by flames at the time of their arrival.

No injuries were reported.

According to the home’s resident, the fire may have been caused by a rupture in a generator fuel line.

The homeowner mentioned that the generator was not working properly on Sunday night, which led to the possible cause of the fire.

The fire was extinguished at around 6 a.m.

The Fire Marshal has been called to help further investigate the fire and the cause.
