Firefighters battle early morning fire in Charleston

It was a cold morning for firefighters as they battled a fire early Friday morning in Charleston.

It started just before 2 a.m. at a house at 527 Pacific Street.

Firefighters told WSAZ no one was home when they arrived and they believe the house has been abandoned for about a year.

They say the fire stayed in the central part of the house.

Tiki-style torches were found on the edge of the front porch, but they are not believed to be the source of the fire.
