The second fire started about 20 minutes later in the 6200 block of Kenshire Drive, causing an estimated $600,000 damage to a two-story house. Shortly after that, a third fire began in the 5000 block of Shadowood Trail.
A firefighter was injured and taken to a hospital by ambulance when the roof of the house collapsed. Officials say he was able to leave the house on foot.
No other injuries were reported.

The homeowners weren't home, but neighbors saw the roof burning around 5:30 a.m. and called for help. Relatives of the family showed up to salvage what they could.
