ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. --

The State Fire Marshal was investigating a fire at an Orange County home early Wednesday morning. A neighbor said he took out some trash just after midnight and that's when he noticed flames shooting out of the front of the house.

"I said, 'Oh my God the house is on fire!' I saw the flames they were very high," said neighbor Brian Barnes.

The neighbor quickly called 911.

Firefighters were able to keep the flames from spreading to the rest of the house.

The people who lived in the home had just moved out two weeks ago, but the power and the gas was still on inside the house.
