A 1920s-era Clearwater house is described as "a total loss" following a fire Thursday night, officials said.

It took firefighters about 20 minutes to bring the blaze under control.

Built in 1926, the home suffered an estimated $100,000 in damages, fire officials said.

Authorities say the blaze began in the electrical panel on the back porch.

No injuries were reported.
