A structure fire early Friday destroyed a single-family home off North Glenwood Road in Volcano, the Hawaii County Fire Department reports.

Responding to the 4:02 a.m. report, firefighters arrived at a North Glenwood Road address to find a two-story, wooden home engulfed in flames, according to the department. Firefighters quickly worked to prevent the fire from spreading to a nearby wooded area. The fire was declared extinguished at 6:20 a.m.

Per neighbors, the owners of the home had not resided in the structure for sometime, however, squatters had been living there, according to the department. No injuries were reported.

The cause of the fire, which caused an estimated $30,000 in damage, remains under investigation, fire officials said.
