Windy conditions helped spread a fire in a Henderson backyard to another neighborhood structure Thursday afternoon.
Firefighters were called around 1:30 p.m. to the 300 block of Esquina Drive, near Windmill Parkway and Valley Verde Drive, according to Henderson Fire Department spokeswoman Kathleen Richards.
The fire quickly spread to trees in three nearby yards and to the roof of a home on Fuente Drive.
Injuries were reported, and the cause of the fire remains under investigation.
