Four adults and a baby were displaced after a backyard fire damaged a home in Spring Valley on Sunday, according to the Clark County Fire Department.

Firefighters arrived at the home on Retriever Avenue just after 1 p.m. to find trash on fire in the backyard. The fire was extinguished before it could spread into the house, but there was damage to the back wall.

The fire department is still investigating the cause of the fire, and the cost of damages has not yet been determined.
