Cpl. Christina Tarasoff said the fire was caused by electrical issues and not thought to be suspicious.

and OFD spokesman Rob Graham:

Got call about report of a structure fire, first officer/trucks on scene did report a fully involved building.

Once more trucks arrived on scene we did get most of the fire contained to the front half of the structure itself.

It was a building that was being renovated to serve as living quarters — front half and back half of building turned into a couple of rooms.

Vacant no one inside.

No one hurt.

Building is a complete write off.

We’re looking at electrical issues – arson is ruled out.

Lot’s of flames and smoke when we got there.
