CHARLOTTE — Firefighters with the Charlotte Fire Department responded to a residential structure fire in south Charlotte around 5:50 a.m. on Wednesday morning.

The one-story home is located on the 5900 block of Masters Court, just off the Carmel Country Club golf course.

According to a tweet from Charlotte Fire, responding firefighters were met with heavy smoke and visible fire on the scene.

Channel 9 has a crew on the scene that was able to speak with neighbors who said no one was living at the home because it is under construction. The house was actually just one month away from being finished.

Dozens of firefighters responded to the early morning call and it took nearly an hour for the department to get the fire under control.
