MCKEESPORT, Pa. --

The fire marshal is investigating a vacant house fire on a McKeesport street, where another vacant house burned several months ago.

Firefighters were called to Stewart Avenue at about 4 a.m. Friday to fight the blaze.

When they arrived, they found a house fully engulfed in flames. Crews were able to get the fire under control in about an hour.

Investigators have not commented on a possible cause.

Another vacant house on the same street caught fire in February.
