Three people are uninjured, but displaced, after a Saturday morning blaze in north Clearwater, fire officials report.

The single-family home on Engman Street was found fully engulfed when Clearwater firefighters arrived shortly after 7:21 a.m.

Fire officials believe the blaze started in the bedroom and are focusing the investigation on a heater, but a final determination has not been made.

County records show the home belongs to Kathleen Smith and Willie Mae Merthie.

The American Red Cross is available if needed, officials say.

The fire investigation is ongoing.
