House fire in Henderson displaces 5 people; causes $1.4M in damage
A Friday night fire at a custom home in Henderson caused $1.4 million in damage and displaced five people.
Firefighters responded just after 8 p.m. Friday to the home on the 2600 block of Ponte Vecchio Terrace, near Eastern Avenue and Sun City Anthem Drive.
Four Henderson Fire Department engines, one truck, two rescue units and a helicopter responded to the fire.
The fire began when wood framing inside a wall ignited as residents lit an outdoor gas fireplace. The homeowner attempted to extinguish the fire on his own before calling 911 and safely leaving the home.
The fire displaced three adults, two children and two dogs. No injuries were reported.
The fire’s cause was determined to be accidental.
