The St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office has labeled a weekend fire "suspicious," but hasn't offered more details as to why.
One person was confirmed dead in the blaze that left another adult and a dog displaced. The flames erupted at a home in Lakewood Park, near Fort Pierce on Sunday morning.
St. Lucie County firefighters rushed to the home in the 63-hundred block of East Seminole Road after reports from neighbors that smoke and flames were pouring from the home around 10:15 a.m. Authorities and firefighters were on the scene for hours.
Sheriff's officials, along with the Florida State Fire Marshal's Ofice are still investigating.
