All members of the household got out safely and a neighbouring home was evacuated as a precaution.
Firefighters found one unresponsive cat in the home. Resuscitation efforts were successful and the cat was returned to its owner.
The city says the fire seems to have been accidentally caused by a propane deep fryer being used near the outside of the house.
