The city of Lewisville, Texas, confirmed Tuesday that a Tesla charging unit sparked a massive garage fire that caused extensive damage to a home.

The two-alarm fire broke out around 12:30 p.m. on Monday, a city spokesman told Fox News Digital. 

“The fire on Monday, July 21, in Lewisville, Texas, originated from the car charger device in the garage,” stated spokesman Matt Martucci. He noted that the “intense” flames caused significant damage, particularly to a second vehicle—a Lexus parked within the garage—and affected the upper floors of the residence.

Footage from the scene shows the Lexus pulled out onto the driveway completely burned and a charred home with visible holes in the roof.

No one was injured, and firefighters had the blaze under control by 1:15 p.m., Martucci said. 

Investigators are working to determine what caused the charging unit to ignite. 

Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
