Clayton Watts, acting officer with SAFD Engine 15, said they arrived to heavy flames that were fueled by building materials, such as stacked lumber, near the shed.

SAFD crews were able to put out the fire before it spread to the home, taking about 10 minutes to extinguish it.

"The guys did a good job stopping it, especially with today's conditions (of high winds)," Watts said.

Watts said arson investigators were called to the scene to comb through the scene to determine the cause of the fire.
