Firefighters are battling a massive blaze at the Clifford's Guest House on Titchfield Hill in Port Antonio, Portland. 

There are no reports of injuries. 

The fire, which reportedly started some time after 8:30 p.m., quickly engulfed the building.

Two fire units from Port Antonio responded first to the blaze, but help had to be sought from Buff Bay, approximately 18 miles away.

The cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained.  

The Clifford's Guest House was once known as the Scotia Guest House.

More later.
