An abandoned two-story house was marked as a “total loss” from a fire on Saturday morning in rural Crystal Lake, officials said.

The Nunda Rural Fire Protection District responded about 9:30 a.m. Saturday to a fire in the 2000 block of Route 176 in rural Crystal Lake, spokesperson Alex Vucha said.

There were no injuries.

The fire was under control after more than an hour later, with officials monitoring hot spots for an additional two hours, Vucha said. There’s no estimates at this time for what the cost of the damage is.
