Sault Ste. Marie Fire Services say smoke was visible from a two-storey structure on Monday afternoon in the 100-block of Grosvenor Avenue.
"Fire crews were able to contain and extinguish the fire," said a news release sent Tuesday by the fire department.
"There is significant fire and smoke damage to the dwelling."
Firefighters responded to the call just before 1:30 p.m. on Monday.
On Tuesday morning, the scene of the fire was relatively quiet, with only some visible soot in the door frame to signify there was a fire at the home the night before.
No injuries were reported as a result of the residential fire.
Sault Ste. Marie Fire Services noted PUC and Enbridge Gas were also on scene at the time of the fire.
