A backyard fire in Ewa Beach spread to a house but was stopped before it did serious damage — a good outcome for the family living there.

• Honolulu firefighters put out the fire at a home on Kaiuka Street this morning.
• A shed caught fire first, and flames climbed the side of the house.
• The homeowner believes sunlight focused through a glass table started it.
• No one was hurt and the house avoided major damage.

Outlook: The cause is still being investigated, but the fire looks accidental.
