Fire officials said no one washome when they arrived and they had a difficult time getting in the house because it was locked.

Once inside, part of the floor fell through and a firefighter's leg went through the floor, but the firefighter was expected to be OK.

Fire officials said there was so much damage inside, crews had to fight the fire from the outside on ladders. 

Fire officials are in the process of trying to contact the people who live at the home, which is split into two apartments.

It was not clear what started the fire, but officials said it appeared to have started in the corner of an upstairs bedroom.
