Fire officials say paint scraping may have caused a house fire in Mason City.
Authorities say a worker was using heat to scrape paint from the exterior of the house when the fire broke out Thursday afternoon. Smoke was coming out of the eaves of the house when firefighters arrived.
No one was home at the time and no injuries were reported.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
