The fire had self-vented and was coming out the side and rear of the house about 35 feet above the roof, according to fire officials.
The house had an extremely steep and narrow driveway, which made it difficult for firefighters to access the building. One engine made it up the driveway and firefighters began attacking the blaze, first from the exterior and then by pushing into the building.
