The Lafayette Street blaze broke out shortly after 5:30 a.m. and quickly raced through the 2½-story wood-frame house.
The Silk City's bravest were forced to go defensive amid frigid temperatures and wind gusts as the blaze went to a second alarm.
They kept it from spreading, however -- knocking the bulk of the fire down by 6:50 a.m. and having it officially under control by 7:30 a.m.
No injuries were reported.
