Fire crews were able to extinguish the fire, which had spread through the entire attic area.
The cause of the fire was a barbeque located on a covered porch. After the barbeque caught on fire, the flames spread to the house, resulting in an estimated $450,000 damage.
There were no injuries, as all occupants had vacated the home before fire crews arrived.
