Fortunately the neighbour managed to alert the tenants in the house before flames spread to the structure. The table fire resulted in some minor stucco damage.
Fire investigators are looking into two possible causes. One is a smoldering cigarette. The other is a faulty exterior light right above the table.
No one was injured.
The stucco that was slightly scorched has already been painted over as the house is for sale.
