"They made an interior attack and … basically confined it to that unit."
Pegios said crews believe the fire started in the kitchen and quickly spread to the rest of the house.
Two people from an adjacent unit were also displaced for the night, after their home suffered some water damage from the fire.
The occupants of the affected townhouse were treated on scene for minor smoke inhalation.
