Two vacant homes were destroyed in a fire in the area of 10th and Montello streets in Reno on Saturday afternoon.

The Reno Fire Department (RFD) received the call just before 3:15 p.m. on Dec. 3. The home was fully involved when they arrived.

Authorities say both homes were vacant and neither had electricity. There was heavy vegetation between the homes, and the fire spread through the vegetation and caught the roof of the second home. Crews were able to stop the fire from spreading to a third home.

There were no injuries.

Officials said police suspect squatters started the fire. An investigator was on scene throughout the day to determine the cause.
