According to Battalion Chief Steve Kean with the Murrieta Fire Department, crews responded after receiving reports of a possible structure fire and discovered smoke and flames coming from the rear of a two story house at 39450 Copper Craft Drive.
Eyewitnesses reported that firefighters went into attack mode and knocked the fire down within a few minutes.
Kean said the cause of the fire was not immediately known, but it appears to have originated in the rear of the home before spreading to a wooden fence that separates the home from a neighboring house.
The fire destroyed the fence and caused damage to a shed and some of its contents.
The exterior of both houses received heat and smoke damage, and a window was broken out on one of the homes due to the heat, Kean said.
He estimated the damages at about $5,000 in total.
The fire was under investigation, and Kean said he would have to interview several people before he could narrow down a possible cause.
No injuries were reported.
