BATON ROUGE - The Baton Rouge Fire Department responded to two vacant house fires early Saturday morning, according to authorities. 

The first fire occurred on Provost Street around 12 a.m. on Saturday. While firefighters prevented the fire from spreading to nearby homes, the vacant house was a total loss. 

Investigators at the scene determined that the fire had been intentionally set, the department said in a press release.

According to the fire department, this isn't the first time the home has caught on fire. The house had previously burned years ago, leaving it abandoned.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
