VIDEO/PHOTO: Two men burning trash in a vacant San Tan Valley lot caused a fire that destroyed a home on Tuesday, according to the Pinal County Sheriff's Office. The sheriff's office got a call about the fire, which was near Pava Lane and Rolling Ridge Road, from neighbors who reported seeing two men burning trash and weeds in the vacant lot near the home. Sheriff Mark Lamb said that the fire spread quickly and engulfed the home, which is a total loss. No one was injured. Rural Metro Fire San Tan Valley firefighters were able to keep the fire from spreading to any other homes. The two men ran from the scene when the fire got out of control, officials said, but neighbors were able to point police to the home they ran to.
