Lake Travis firefighters put out the same fire twice Monday night.

The first call came around 10 p.m. for a mobile home on Cherry Hollow Crossing off of Lindeman Lane, outside of Jonestown.

Fire crews put the blaze out, but the fire had already caused heavy damage to the property.

At about 4 a.m. Tuesday, crews were called back because the fire rekindled.

Investigators said the cause of the fire appears to be accidental. Officials said it was a total loss.

One minor injury was reported and the property sustained about $100,000 in total damages.
