The home was not occupied at the time. No injuries were reported.

"We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to the neighbors who not only quickly detected and reported the emergency, had a garden hose spraying water on the structure but also moved their vehicles from the street to provide access for responding fire apparatus and assisted by making contact with the homeowner," fire officials wrote.
