Jefferson Twp. Fire Chief Larry Sexton said crews located and worked to extinguish the blaze before much of the assistance from other departments arrived.
Sexton said the house was unoccupied but was under renovation.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation, but might have started in a furnace.
Sexton said damage was confined mostly to one area and the renovation would be allowed to continue, but a cost estimation was unknown.
No injuries were reported.
