Hamilton police are no longer calling a morning house fire suspicious.
Eleven fire units responded to a blaze at an abandoned home on Upper James near Brucedale.
The large, white, two-storey home with blacked out windows went up in flames at around 2:30 this morning.
Police believe the fire was started when trash outside the home was set on fire causing $100,000 damage to the home and $5,000 in damage to the small apartment building next door.
