No one was

injured when a fire damaged a home on Crimson Ridge in Tyrone Tuesday

afternoon.

No one was

home at the time the blaze was reported at 2:17 p.m. at 115 Crimson Ridge,

officials said.

It took Fayette

County firefighters just over 40 minutes to get the fire under control

and they were able to save the majority of the structure, said Deputy

Chief Tom Bartlett of the Fayette County Department of Fire and Emergency

Services.

The fire began

on the exterior of the home, but there is no way to determine what ignited

the blaze, said Fayette County Fire Marshal David Scarbrough. The fire

was fed by several broken down boxes by the homeowner, who had just moved

in a week prior to the fire, Scarbrough said.

There was no

other possible ignition source around the area and there was no burglary

or forced entry into the home, Scarbrough noted.

"There

is no evidence of foul play or any intentional act," Scarbrough said.

The fire crept

up the exterior wall on a side of the home that used to be a garage and

was later converted to an interior room of the house, Scarbrough said.

Firefighters broke through the roof to get access to the flames and keep

them from spreading to the rest of the house, he added.

"It was

a good stop," Scarbrough said of the techniques that limited the

fire damage. "... You try to get to the feet of the fire to be able

to stop it."
