According to North Kingstown Fire Chief Scott Kettelle, crews were called to Pojac Point Road around 10:30 a.m. for a report of a fire.
When they arrived, heavy fire was coming from the second floor of the home.
Neighboring departments including Narragansett, East Greenwich, Warwick and West Warwick were called in to assist with the fire.
