Holley fire officials said there was heavy smoke on the second floor, which spread to the attic. Firefighters would cut into the roof and a window in the attic to try to ventilate the house.
The site is between the U.S. Post Office and Holley Presbyterian Church. A section of Route 31 was closed so firefighters could put out the fire.
