ROGERS -- Fire spread from a boat to the exterior of a home Tuesday night, causing some damage, said Tom Jenkins, Rogers fire chief.
Fire broke out on the seat of a fishing boat at 9:15 p.m. Tuesday at 510 S. 13th St. The heat from the fire then caught the adjacent home's soffit on fire, Jenkins said.
Flames were visible when firefighters arrived, according to a Fire Department report. Fire spread to the attic before firefighters put it out, Jenkins said.
No one was injured.
Damage to the 1,348-square-foot home was light, Jenkins said. Damage was estimated at $5,000, but the boat is a loss, he said.
The house is valued at $84,000, according to Benton County property records. It's owned by David and Melissa J. Higby.
The cause of the fire is under investigation, Jenkins said.
