Twelve fire crews responded to the scene, prompting the RCMP to close the road in both directions.
District Chief Brad Connors says the fire started from an ATV that was stored under a deck, and quickly spread to the roof.
“Because of the operations we’re working in a defensive position which means all our staff, all our firefighters are outside the structure,” Connors said at the scene. “Because of the collapse of the roof, we can’t get inside at this moment.”
Everyone inside the home was able to get out by the time fire crews arrived. There were no injuries.
