By the time firefighters arrived, heavy fire was coming from the second-floor windows.
The fire was knocked in approximately 20 minutes but crews remained on scene for over 2 hours working on overhaul.
The fire heavily damaged the upstairs front bedroom of the address where it is believed the fire originated.
A home next door also sustained smoke and water damage.
The American Red Cross was called to assist.
