FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) -- The Fort Wayne Fire Department says electrical problems were the cause of a house fire that broke out on Taylor Street around 10:00 Monday night.

When crews arrived at the house in the 2800 block of Taylor Street, they found smoke coming from the roof.

Firefighters entered the home and were able to contain the fire to the attic of the two-story building.

Officials determined the house was unoccupied. No one was hurt.
