Five people escaped safely without injuries before firefighters were on-scene.
Temperatures were below freezing, making it necessary for firefighters to take measures to prevent water freezing inside hoses.
"With the wind chill being in the teens, it's best — once we put out the fire — to put the hoses up because the water becomes stagnant inside the hose and could possibly freeze and damage the hose," Daniels said.
Officials said the cause of the fire remains under investigation.
