The home in the 300 block of Royal Oak Drive was not occupied at the time.

Firefighters had to make a forced entry to contain the blaze.

“Part of the attic did collapse down into the middle of the house,” a battalion chief on scene said.

The fire is now contained.

The battalion chief said extra units were called to the scene as a heat precaution.

SAFD did not specify if there was any extensive damage to the rest of the house.

An incident commander on the scene made contact with the family.
