The fire was extinguished in about 15 minutes, Hastings said.
It was reported about 12:40 p.m.
The chief said the blaze originated in the area of a lean-to style roof attached to the back of the home. A wood stove in the same area is considered the likely cause, he said, and the investigation continues.
Damage was limited to the wall.
