Officials  confirmed no one was hurt.

"Around 1 a.m. yesterday morning, police received a report that a home being built on 266 Ave. near Morrow Dr. was on fire. A responding officer located the man who reported the fire on scene and determined no one was inside the home. The Buckeye Fire Department arrived to put out the flames. The home was significantly damaged. Investigators determined the fire was suspicious," Buckeye Police said in a statement.
