Acting Battalion Chief Dan McIntosh said crews were called to a property at the corner of 160th Street and 103 Avenue around 1:50 p.m.

McIntosh said the fire was in a 1,000 square-foot addition to the empty home, and crews were able isolate it there and protect the original structure.

He said no one was home at the time and no one was hurt.
