WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Firefighters extinguished a house fire in West Palm Beach early Sunday morning.

A 911 call was placed at 6:45 a.m. by a neighbor.

When crews arrived they saw the back of the home at 1403 7th Street was fully engulfed in flames.

No one was injured. Fire officials say the damage has made the house uninhabitable.

Firefighters were also investigating a "melted cable" two houses away from the home that burned. It is unknown if the melted cable is related to the house fire.
