Flames broke out along the first block of Fleshman Mill Road in New Oxford shortly after 10 a.m.
When firefighters arrived, they found heavy fire in the rear of the home.
The cause of the fire appears to have been an unattended candle, according to Nick Shaffer, assistant chief of United Hook and Ladder.
