"That meant our arrival time was very quick because we were already out and about.
"Our crew did a great job and brought everything under control very quickly."
Captain Welch said the cause of the latest fire was still unknown.
"We're not too sure what got it going, but we know there is no power connected to the house," he said.
"Police are currently investigating the cause and circumstances of the incident.
"It isn't the first time we have attended a fire at this address, but we will let the police handle it from here."
