Ralston fire officials say a short in a landscaping accent light caused a blaze early Tuesday morning that damaged a house. No one was hurt.

Firefighters arrived at the scene near 77th and Maywood to find flames on the outside of the house with heavy smoke inside. Firefighters quickly extinguished the fire and ventilated the residence.

A neighbor discovered the fire when she went outside to check on a noise she heard at 12:45 a.m. She called 911 and ran next door to alert the occupants of the burning home.

According to an investigator with the State Fire Marshal's office, the short in the landscape light ignited wood mulch and the fire spread to the house.

Damage to the outside of the home was estimated at $6,000.
