One firefighter was treated for heat exhaustion after responding to a house fire early Tuesday in Sunrise Beach, according to a press release from the Sunrise Beach Fire Protection District.

Crews were called to a home in the 100 block of Via Cresta Drive at 3:40 a.m. for a fire that led a home to partially collapse, the release says. The first crews arrive by water, but the boat was sent back to dock after a storm rolled in while more firefighters were at the scene, the release says.

No one was home at the time of the fire and the cause is under investigation. A nearby home had exterior heat damage reported.

The fire was considered under control at 6:11 a.m.
