Two adults and three children were in the home but no injuries were reported.
Units responded shortly after 10 p.m. and saw smoke coming from the attic area of the three-story house, which had working fire alarms. After firefighters saw the fire may have spread to the basement and attic space, a second unit was called, and the fire was out in about a half hour.
