A vacant house in Yucca Mesa that was in the process of being sold is a total loss after a fire early this morning. When firefighters from Yucca Mesa and Yucca Valley responded to a house fire in the 2700 block of Keeler at 4:30 a.m. today, they found the 1,000-square foot home well involved in flames, but were able to put it out in about 30 minutes. The cause of the blaze is under investigation. Fire Captain Mark Faulkner reminds residents to turn off the electric and gas if a home is left vacant.
