Three residents of the two-story home escaped with no injuries, but a pet cat was reported missing, Woodstock Fire Chief Kyle Hopps said.
The Red Cross is assisting the residents, he said.
The first call came in about 10:40 a.m. A second alarm was issued half an hour later. Firefighters were able to knock the fire down to prevent the home from becoming a total loss, Hopps said.
Hopps said manpower was an issue in battling the daytime fire.
Assisting the Woodstock Fire Department were units from Mexico, Rumford, Greenwood, West Paris, Bethel, Paris and Norway.
It is the second major fire in town this week. On Tuesday, a sawmill on Route 232 was destroyed.
