House destroyed in fire

A home used as an office on Bonanza Drive, in North Carson City, suffered major damage this afternoon after the home owner ignited gasoline while working on his vehicle.

The fire raged through the garage and a quarter of the way into the office that occupies the lot next door to his home.

His 95-year-old mother-in-law inside the home, came outside to find the juniper trees lining the driveway had gone up in flames, too.
