Firefighters found flames visible coming from the crawl space of the home when they got there. Two people were safely evacuted. The flames were seen on the exterior of the house and extended to the siding.

Firefighters put out the fire within 20 minutes.

Investigators determined the cause to be accidental, caused by improperly discarded smoking materials ignited a wooden planter of the front porch. The fire spread to exterior siding and crawlspace. The damage estimate is $50,000.

There were no injuries. The adult male and female declined the Red Cross assistance and found their own temporary housing.
