Police and firefighters quickly got to the Cedar Lane home around the corner from Fire Company No. 3 after the blaze broke out around 7:30 p.m. Thursday.
Engine access off Cedar Lane was difficult, so firefighters cut a hole in the company parking lot fence to run a line to the 2½-story, wood-frame home.
The fire was doused within 20 minutes.
It nonetheless caused extensive damage to the 2½-story, wood-frame home.
No injuries were reported.
