When firefighters arrived on the scene just after 6:40 pm they saw heavy smoke coming from the building. An offensive attack was launched inside the structure but as conditions worsened crews had to move to a defensive attack on the exterior.

An aerial ladder was set up to help extinguish the blaze. By 8:25 pm the fire was declared under control but crews remained on the scene for several hours to ensure it did not reignite.

Officials say that everyone who was inside the home at the time of the fire was able to get out safely and there were no reports of any injuries.
