The fire began in the brush around a home in the 6460 block of Langdon Ave. just before 1:30 p.m., fire department spokesman Brian Humphrey said.
The flames then spread to the wood shingle roof on the home and the roof of a detached garage, Humphrey said.
The department dispatched 40 firefighters to the scene to fight the wind- driven blaze, a dangerous condition in light of Friday’s Red Flag warning, Humphrey added.
No injuries were reported.
The cause of the fire remained under investigation.
