Fire tore through a vacant home in East Hollywood Tuesday evening and burned for 26 minutes before firefighters were able to extinguish the flames.

Crews responded to the 1000 block of North Heliotrope Drive, near Santa Monica Boulevard, at 10:33 p.m. and discovered the single-family home fully engulfed in fire, according to Nicholas Prange of the Los Angeles Fire Department.

A total of 36 firefighters battled the fire in the 1,731-square-foot structure and a knockdown was called at 10:59 p.m., Prange said.

No injuries were reported and the cause of the fire was under investigation.
