No injuries were reported as a result of the incident, according to fire department spokeswoman Leslie Lua. 

Melody Ranch co-owner Daniel Veluzat said the fire broke out during roof work being done by a commercial roofing company. 

“There was basically no structure damage but the most important thing is that nobody got injured,” he said. 

Staff Writer Tammy Murga contributed to this report.
