A vacant home in Axtell is a total loss after an overnight fire Friday. 

The fire happened just after 3 a.m. at a home in the 2200 block of Longhorn Parkway. 

Leroy-Axtell Fire Rescue Deputy Chief Donny Garner said it's unclear how the fire started. 

At one point, Garner said a power line fell on top of a fire engine. He's waiting for an electric company to remove it.  

Firefighters cleared the scene around 4:45 a.m. but returned when the fire started up again. 

There are no reports of injuries.
