Lounsbury says bystanders knocked down some of the fire with a fire extinguisher prior to the arrival of fire crews.

There was heavy smoke in the basement and the first floor of the home.

Lounsbury says the damage was contained to the basement and some minor damage to the first floor of the home in the area of the fire.

It took approximately less then ten minutes to completely knock down the flames.

According to Lounsbury, the fire is believed to have started inside the garbage cans, which were against the side of the home when the fire started.

It is unclear at this time what was inside the garbage can that may have sparked the fire.

The homeowners were not home at the time of the fire and there were no pets reported to be inside.
