A home in Maitland was heavily damaged in an early-morning fire, authorities said.
The fire broke out at the home on Ventris Avenue at about 6 a.m.
Homeowner Gary Rhatigian said he rents out the home.
"So, I came up and I saw the mess, naturally, in the street. The fire trucks, the cops, the officers. There's not much else I can do but comfort the people that live there," Rhatigian said.

Firefighters said the blaze started in the back of the home.
Investigators said that minutes later, a garage fire was reported in the Westside of the City in the Arbors apartment complex.
The garage fire was quickly extinguished by a fire sprinkler system, which prevented the spread of fire to the attached occupied building.
No injuries were reported.
The Red Cross is helping three residents search for a place to stay.
The investigation is ongoing.
