A home near Watertown was destroyed by fire Saturday night, but authorities say no one was injured as the structure was reportedly unoccupied when the blaze broke out.

Shortly after 9 p.m., local fire crews were called to a home located at 16359 451st Avenue just north and west of the corporate city limits.

When firemen arrived, the structure was fully engulfed in flames.

Officials say two dogs were being housed in a nearby kennel, but were moved to a safe location away from the fire.

Local fire crews remained on the scene for about four hours. The Florence Fire Department was also called upon to provide additional assistance.
