Officials say two people were inside the Niagara Street home when the flames broke out, around 4 p.m. Sunday.

A man was able to escape the building safely, while a woman had to be rescued via a window.

Firefighters say the fire doesn’t appear to be suspicious in nature, but its cause remains under investigation.

A damage estimate was not immediately available.
