TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - Crews responded to a home on the northwest side Friday after several neighbors saw fire coming from the roof.
Capt. Adam Goldberg with Northwest Fire tells KGUN9 that the home was on Sunrise Shadow Drive near Camino de Oeste and Tangerine Road.

Crews discovered that the fire started in the attic and damaged the roof and inside of the home.

The homeowners also did not lose any personal possessions.
The cause of the fire was determined accidental as a result of an electrical malfunction.
Damages are estimated at $30,000.
It took 22 firefighters 19 minutes to bring the fire under control.
