PHOTO: A deck fire caused by a carelessly discarded cigarette caused minor damage a home in Fargo's Golden Ridge neighborhood early Thursday. Fire crews were called out shortly before 4 a.m. to 906 26th Street North. Firefighters got a quick knock-down, limiting damage to the rear deck and exterior wall of the home. Fire Captain Jason Mehlisch says if a neighbor had not spotted the flames and called 911, it wouldn't have taken much longer for the fire would to have spread into the house.
