According to fire officials, the incident occurred around 7:15 p.m. in the 7400 block of Board Drive.

The St. George Fire Protection District says the fire has been contained.

Investigators determined that the fire started when ashes were placed in a trash can next to the house. The ashes caused the trash can to ignite, and then the fire spread up the wall of the home and into the attic.
