The fire was called in shortly before 12:30 p.m. at the 29000 Block of Blake Way, and first responders were on scene minutes later, after being diverted from an apartment fire on Jakes Way that had been put out shortly before.

The fire threatened one structure, a home backing up against the yard, but firefighters were able to prevent the flames from spreading into the house.
