Firefighters quickly entered the home to battle the flames from inside, while utilities were shut down for safety. Just after 8 p.m., firefighters outside the home began attacking the flames in the basement as well.
The fire was brought under control at 8:47 p.m., the department noted, and a fire investigator was called to the scene.
On Monday, the fire department said the cause of the fire remains undetermined, but damage was estimated at $200,000.
