Marco Island fire rescue said in a facebook post their firefighters saw smoke on the way to the fire scene, and upon arrival, firefighters found flames shooting from the roof of the home.
Tower Company 50 stretched a hose-line out to put the fire out.
Firefighters made entry into the building and found heavy smoke accumulated on the second floor.
Fire rescue says the ceiling was pulled down and firefighters were met with flames, flaring-up and rolling overhead in the attic space.
Crews extinguished the attic fire within the structure, after pulling the ceiling down in multiple rooms to reach all hot-spots, and areas of fire involvement.
Marco Island Fire Rescue also entered through an outside ventilation team, and were able to keep the fire from spreading next door.
Greater Naples Fire Rescue also responded and helped along with Collier Co. EMS.
Fire rescue says no injures were reported.
