Crews arrived in the 1200 block of Waverly Avenue to find flames shooting from the upstairs bedroom of a home.
Neighbors and firefighters helped two adult occupants escape as the fire quickly spread through the second floor and into the attic.
Efforts to fight the fire were complicated by sub-freezing temperatures, which caused water poured on the blaze to freeze.
It took firefighters just over an hour to bring the situation under control.
