A Montgomery County regional dispatch supervisor previously told News Center 7 that the house is believed to be abandoned.
Firefighters quickly extinguished the fire and searched the structure, according to French.
No one was injured, but the fire caused approximately $2,750 in damages.
French said Dayton fire crews have responded to a fire at this house before.
