Newly constructed home catches fire

A home set to go on the market this week suffered fire damage Monday morning.

According to Fire Marshal Eddie Rodriguez, the home on Patricia Lane in Desert Passage was a new construction. Most of Patricia Lane consists of new homes and homes under construction.

Rodriguez said it was an electrical fire in the garage. Damage was apparently limited to a garage wall.

Earlier in the morning, cleaning ladies had smelled something odd, he said. When a work crew arrived shortly after, they smelled smoke and called 911.

The home was supposed to go on the market Tuesday, now delayed for repairs. There were no reported injuries.
