The interior of the home is completely damaged and unlivable, according to the Fire Department, adding that the roof collapsed and nothing is salvageable.
The State Fire Marshal arrived at the scene to conduct an investigation to determine the cause of the fire, as well as where the fire started, fire officials said.
