It took firefighters about 20 minutes to get the fire out because "excessive contents" inside the home made it difficult for firefighters to get around.
The person inside the home reported waking to the sound of fire and evacuating. It is unknown if there were working smoke alarms inside.
The cause of the fire is under investigation and no firefighters were hurt in the incident.
