TITUSVILLE, Fla. -- Eyewitness News has new details about a fire that destroyed a three-story home in Titusville. The woman who lived there had ceramic heaters and those heaters somehow started the fire. She used the special heaters to protect her orchids.
An insurance adjuster was at the scene surveying the damage to the $670,000, waterfront home. The inside has partially collapsed and the back is virtually gone.
Firefighters helped the Ward family move some of their belongings out of their home to keep the antiques and valuables from getting any more damaged inside the charred remains of what was a picturesque home.
Fire investigators believe the blaze started with an electrical fire. Authorities said it appears heat lamps used to keep orchids warm in the cool temperatures were at the root of the fire.
