Firefighters on Saturday morning were dousing the remains of an accidental fire that destroyed a log cabin in Lake Shore, a small community about five miles west of Spanish Fork.

The home was fully engulfed in flames when fire crews arrived at the scene about 6 p.m. Friday.

Utah County Fire Marshal Dennis Barker said the fire likely was started by a portable propane heater that was left on near flammable vapor. Prior to the fire, the homeowner's brother was staining and applying trim to the baseboards of the house and forgot the heater was on, Barker said.

No one was injured in the fire, which resulted in an estimated $300,000 damage.
