A total of nine engines with various fire departments were on scene working to contain the fire just before 2 p.m., he added. No injuries were reported and the home was empty during the fire, Crawford said.
The call came in at 12:29 p.m. and Crawford said he expected firefighters to remain on scene for up to three hours conducting their investigation.
