— Crews were working a fire Wednesday morning at a home south of MacArthur Park Little Rock.

Little Rock Fire Department firefighters were called about 6:40 a.m. to East 15th Street and Park Lane, where the three-story wooden framed house was engulfed in heavy smoke.

Firefighters say no utilities in the house were hooked up, and it didn't appear that anybody lived there.

"We don't know if it's accidental or arson," department spokesman Capt. Jason Weaver said. "They're still investigating."

No injuries were reported.

Firefighters were called out of the house at one point, as flames could be seen on the second floor.

A damage estimate wasn't immediately available.
