Fire departments from surrounding communities battled a house fire in Leetonia early Friday.

The first alarm came in shortly before 7:30 am when flames were spotted at a home under renovation on the 600 block of Columbia Street.

The fire spread through the porch and the front of the home into the second floor.

Investigators are describing the home as a total loss, saying it will be torn down.

No injuries were reported.  Firefighters helped evacuate a resident living at a neighboring home.

There is no word yet on the cause of the fire.
