"This is a property or residence that we've had some fires at before," said Fresno County CAL FIRE firefighter Roger Raines. "Last winter about January or February, we had structure fire here at the same residence, and we've had multiple fires with debris and trash behind the residence."

Firefighters did say there were some smaller fires outside the home burning some debris this time as well.

A female resident had a minor injury to her arm but is expected to be OK.

Fire officials say the home is a total loss.
