Firefighters went to work and extinguished the bulk of the fire within 10 minutes of arriving, Langhorne-Middletown Fire Company Chief Frank Farry said.
Jim McGuire, the township fire marshal, said the blaze started in the area of a set of shelves in the basement. The area of a dehumidifier is being looked at as the point of origin.
The home suffered moderate damage, the fire marshal said.
