MOBILE, Ala. (WKRG) — A fire damages a home on Seneca Street in Mobile. Crews were sent Saturday afternoon after several reports of a fire in the 900 block of Seneca Street. That’s near Pillans Park. The first calls came around 4:41 pm.

A news release from Mobile Fire-Rescue says the first engine arrived to see the home burning. It was a single-story wood frame home. After a search, firefighters determined no one was inside.

It’s not clear what started the fire and the release doesn’t say whether the home was occupied before the blaze. Crews were able to get the fire under control in less than half an hour.

Spend management startup SiFi raises $10M to grow further in Saudi Arabia
The global spend management sector is experiencing a tailwind of sorts. Indeed, the space is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 10.3% by 2030, per Grand View Research, and adoption in other regions like the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) is expected to pick up as companies increasingly adopt expense management tools to get a clearer picture of where their money is going. Saudi Arabia-based Simplified Financial Solutions Company (SiFi), one such spend management platform in the MENA region, has now raised $10 million in a seed funding round to double down on its growth plans in its home market.
