Gwinnett County Fire Investigators have ruled arson as the cause for a vacant house fire in Duluth. Firefighters responded just before noon Wednesday to a neighbor's report of smoke pouring from a house in 2300 block of Edge Court.

Heavy smoke and flames were visible upon the arrival of fire crews. Fire investigators said it was the second blaze to occur at the home, which has been vacant for the past five or six months.
