Hot Tub Possible Cause of Deck Fire at Fargo Home

Nobody is hurt after a backyard deck fire in north Fargo this morning.

The Fargo Fire Department responded to the fire at about 9:20 a.m. and extinguished it in under three minutes.

Damage to the home was contained to an exterior door.

The exact cause is still being investigated, but fire crews may have an idea how it started.

“Looked like it was coming from the hot tub that is in the porch,” said Battalion Chief Lee Soeth of the Fargo Fire Department.

Only one person was inside the home at the time of the fire.
