The Suffolk Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating arson that happened late Thursday to a residential structure fire in the 200 block of Forest Street.

Emergency Communications was contacted at 10:44 p.m., and the first unit arrived on scene in the downtown neighborhood at 10:49 p.m., according to a press release.

Firefighters found smoke showing upon arrival at the two-story residence. The fire was quickly knocked down. The residence is currently under renovation, so no residents were staying there. There were no injuries.
