The cause of a fire that heavily damaged a vacant Centralia house yesterday afternoon is under investigation.

Nobody was hurt but the 900 block of North Tower Avenue was closed for an extended time due to fire fighting operations, according to Riverside Fire Authority.

Crews responding to the 2:10 p.m. call found heavy flames from the back of the single-story home, according to the fire department.

Members of the Chehalis Fire Department assisted, to stop the fire from spreading to neighboring residences.
