A neighbor reported the fire at 1:22 a.m., the department said.
Firefighters found smoke and fire coming from the back of the building when they arrived and had the fire under control about 20 minutes later, a report of the incident said.
Officials said one firefighter was taken to a hospital with an arm injury, but they did not disclose details.
