A fence was charred and two houses were slightly damaged when a one-alarm blaze broke out on July 3 in the side yard of a single family home in the 200 block of Diablo Avenue, a local fire official said.

Firefighters received a call at 3:35 p.m. reporting the fire, and arrived to find flames and smoke in between the two homes, said Jaime Garrett, spokeswoman for the Mountain View Fire Department. The blaze was extinguished by 3:42 p.m., and fire officials remained on scene for about an hour and a half to make sure the fire was completely extinguished. No one was injured or displaced.

Investigators are working to determine the cause of the fire, Garrett said. At this point fireworks are not suspected.
