Shortly after 1:30 p.m., firefighters could be seen breaking through the door as pillars of smoke towered from the home.
Paramedics and police were on scene, as well, with Woodward Avenue blocked off as firefighters tackled the blaze.
Sault Ste. Marie Police have urged the public to avoid the area.
"Officers have traffic closed to the area at Queen Street East and Wellington Street East," police said in a press release.
