A fire caused $22,000 in damage to a home in the southeast valley Sunday morning, the Henderson Fire Department said.

Firefighters found heavy fire and smoke coming from the backyard, with two sheds and two vehicles engulfed in flames. The fire also spread to the attic of a neighboring house.
Within five minutes, the fire was under control.
The fire displaced six adults and three children. The American Red Cross is assisting them.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
