A fire destroyed a home in north Joshua Tree last night. Callers reported hearing numerous explosions from a home in the 63000 block of Sunny Sands about 8 p.m., and fire fighters could see smoke and flames from the home as they approached. The 1,100 square-foot, single-story home was fully involved when fire fighters arrived, and they went into defensive mode to knock down the flames and keep the fire from spreading. Power lines were also down near the front of the house. The residents were not home at the time of the fire and there were no injuries. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
