Three engines, an aerial ladder, a heavy rescue truck and a battalion chief responded to the scene.

Firefighters found a single-storey home with smoke and flames visible from its right-side walls, causing the vacant two-storey residence next door to catch fire. The flames were put out within 10 minutes.

No one was inside either home.

The cause of the blaze is currently under investigation.
