Four Youngstown Firefighters managed to get out of the way as a wall collapsed at a burning home Thursday morning.
The Youngstown Fire Department was dispatched to what was reported as a vacant house fire on 500 block of Cameron Avenue just after 8:30 a.m.
When crews arrived, the fire had spread through most of the home and a side door was blocked by a stack of tires.
Four fighters working to protect two vacant homes on either side of the burning house had to run for their lives when a wall fell to the ground.
Drivers on the city's South Side reported seeing smoke and flames from blocks away.
No one was injured.
The home is a total loss according to investigators.
Investigators are looking for the cause of the fire.
