The Terre Haute Fire Department responded to a house fire near S. 17th and  Poplar Streets late last night.

Just before midnight, crews were dispatched to a home at 1615 Poplar Street on reports of smoke seen coming out of the structure.

Upon arrival, firefighters saw fire coming from the back door of the house. It was not clear at the time if anyone had been inside. The home had overgrown bushes and trees blocking firefighters' attempts to gain entry. Duke Energy was called to the scene.

​The fire is under investigation at this time.
