The fire was in the deck area and spread to the rear of the home into the attic.
Officials said the home was not occupied at the time. Firefighters were able to contain the fire to the rear deck and attic.
Due to a number of inoperable fire hydrants and low water pressure in the area, more fire crews were called to the scene.
