The three-alarm fire was at a home on Bourne Avenue.
The Sandwich Fire Department says the structure was known to be a hoarding house and was reportedly packed full of materials.
Fire Chief John Burke said the department had actually planned for a response to a future house fire at the address, and that firefighters did not enter because no one was inside.
The blaze is under investigation.

Now the school just needs the vaccine nearly 2,000 doses.
“That’s what we’re waiting for,” school Superintendent Roger Forget said Wednesday afternoon.
The plan is to dispense 1,997 first shots in a single day possibly March 19 to pre-K through grade 12 staff in the Bourne, Sandwich, Falmouth, Mashpee and Upper Cape Tech school districts, he said.
“It’s not just teachers. It’s everyone. It’s the bus drivers. It’s the custodians,” said Forget, who worked with state Rep. Steven G. Xiarhos, Sandwich Selectman David J. Sampson and Sandwich fire Chief John Burke to get the state Department of Public Health to approve the school as a vaccination site.
EAST SANDWICH As large waves battered Springhill Beach on Tuesday, evidence of Monday night’s storm remained on Salt Marsh Road. A portion of driveway fell onto the beach below. A warped deck hung precariously, ready to fall at any moment.
The foundations of three oceanfront homes from 112 to 116 Salt Marsh Road were damaged beyond repair. The house at 112 Salt Marsh Road, which was barely standing Tuesday morning, had fallen onto its side into the ocean by Tuesday night. The foundation was ripped out of the ground, and the side with the deck was in the water.
“It is pretty dramatic and [it wasn t] even a big storm out there,” said Joshua Wrigley, assistant director of Natural Resources for the town of Sandwich.
