When firefighters arrived at a house fire in Hampton Village, the home in the 600 block of Hargreaves Avenue was fully involved in flames.

The fire extended from the basement to the roof. The call came in at 7:45 p.m. Monday night and the fire was brought under control an hour later. Neither civilians nor firefighters were hurt in the blaze.

The cause of the fire is accidental from improper disposal of smoking material and it caused $750,000 damage.

The Fire Investigator determined the fire originated inside a pillar that supports the roof over the front door. The pillar was finished with brick veneer over wood frame construction. A flower bed surrounded the pillar that contained a paper cup for cigarette butts as well as peat moss in the flower bed. Cigarette butts were identified inside the pillar with the interior wood frame sustaining fire damage.
