A home in St. Petersburg's Shore Acres neighborhood suffered "pretty significant" damage early Monday due to a fire, St. Petersburg Fire Rescue said. The home, like much of the Shore Acres neighborhood, was impacted by severe flooding brought on by Hurricane Idalia a couple of weeks ago. Fire crews said they first got the call around 3:15 a.m. about a home on Connecticut Avenue NE near Des Moines Street NE reportedly on fire. Firefighters were able to get the fire under control. By 6:15 a.m., crews were still working on putting out hot spots. "This unfortunate incident has added to the challenges faced by a resident in the midst of renovating their home after the hurricane's destructive impact," fire crews said in a release. No injuries have been reported with this fire.
