A Canton house was destroyed by fire early Thursday, one day after firefighters doused a garage fire at the same residence, an official said.
"Nobody was injured," Deputy Fire Chief Christopher Stoecklein said.
Officials hadn't pinpointed the exact cause of either blaze. Stoecklein said later Thursday morning the fires remained under investigation.
The latest fire at the two-story colonial home was reported shortly after 5:30 a.m. Thursday in the 700 block of Merrimac, near Cherry Hill and Lotz. Firefighters arrived to find the house and attached garage fully engulfed in flames.
"It's a total loss," Stoecklein said.
The family that lives in the house already had gone to a hotel room because of another fire that started in the garage about noon Wednesday, causing what was initially described as smoke damage to the house. The garage had been boarded up when the second blaze was reported.
Flames could be seen coming from the home's roof when firefighters arrived Thursday morning. One next-door house sustained minor damage to the siding, Stoecklein said.
Firefighters from all three Canton fire stations fought the blaze.
