Firefighters from Pinellas Park, Lealman, Kenneth City, St. Petersburg, and Seminole all assisted with a structure fire this morning.
The fire was located in a duplex at 7140 50th Avenue in an unincorporated area of St. Petersburg.
Multiple calls were placed to 911 and fire crews were dispatched at about 7:35AM. The structure was described as fully involved by the initial crews arriving on the scene.

Detectives assigned to the Sheriff’s Arson and Auto Theft Unit are investigating the cause of the fire. According to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, nobody was injured and the cause of the fire does not appear suspicious in nature at this time.
