Crews entered the home and found that flames had spread from the attic into the master bathroom and closet on the second floor. After determining no one was still inside the home, firefighters quickly extinguished the fire, Dickey said.
The displaced residents, a family of four including two children, are not expected to move back into the residence soon.
The cause of the fire is under investigation but it is not considered suspicious in nature.
