The house was vacant at the time, and the estimated cost of damage is yet to be determined.

Police say the second fire occurred in Savusavu, where a four-bedroom home belonging to a 62-year-old farmer from Urata Village was destroyed in a fire yesterday morning.

The house was also vacant during the time of the incident.
