Because the building was just feet away from a neighboring structure, the flames spread to a second home.
Firefighters said they were able to quickly knock down the fire despite challenges such as icy sidewalks and power lines in the area.
A total of 13 adults and two children were displaced between the two homes. The Red Cross responded to help them find alternate housing.
One firefighter suffered a shoulder injury but is expected to be OK.
