The house was on South Lakeview Road on the southeast side of the lake.
When units arrived on scene, the fire had embedded into the walls of the back of the home.
Elmwood Township Fire Chief Keith Tampa had to call in other units from Traverse City, Cedar, and Leelanau.
Tampa said the owner made it out alive because of their fire detectors.
“I’m grateful the homeowners had working smoke detectors in the residence,” said Tampa. “From all the reports we got the alarms went off and the home owner was notified and was able to begin evacuation of the house, including getting the pets out as well.”
