    A mayday call was issued after the floor collapsed and the firefighters were able to get out with only minor injuries. One of the firefighters was transported to a local hospital for a sprained ankle.

    Crews responded to the fire in the 4200 block of Arlet Court Court S.E. at approximately 12:30 a.m. and took just under an hour to put it out.

    The two-story home in a new subdivision was vacant at the time of the fire.

    The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
