At 7:40 a.m. Wednesday morning, firefighters responded to a fire after a person walking by a home in Avon Township, witnessed smoke coming from the roof.

Stearns County Sheriff John Sanner says the homeowner, 36-year-old Jody Abraham of Avon, arrived shortly after area fire departments responded.

Sanner says the home and the items inside received serious damage. However, no injuries were reported because no one was home at the time of the fire.

The cause of the fire is being investigated by the Stearns County Sheriff’s office and the State Fire Marshall’s office.
