CARLSBAD ---- A fire in an outside trash can damaged the exterior of single-story home early Sunday, an emergency dispatcher said.
About 1:50 a.m., firefighters were called to the 7700 block of Palacio Drive, where flames from a trash can had extended into the home's siding, the NorthComm dispatcher said. It took firefighters about 10 minutes to put out the fire, which was started by discarded ashes in the trash can, the dispatcher said.
The fire did not extend inside and residents were able to return home.
