A spokesperson for Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue said: "We got the call just after 5pm today [February 19].
"There was six pumps and an aerial ladder platform used at the scene of the fire, which broke out in a semi-detached property.
"There was two breathing apparatus firefighters who went in with one hose reel jet."
At 8:30pm on Saturday evening the Fire Service confirmed it was scaling the incident down and three pumps will remain at the scene.
A Fire Investigation will take place on Sunday to determine the cause.
The spokesperson added: " The fire in the property has been extinguished. All persons have been accounted for."
Lucy Marton, who lives around the corner from the house involved, said: "I thought someone was just having a barbecue or something at first. Then I saw all the fire crews arrive and I knew it must be pretty serious. Hopefully everyone is OK."
Meanwhile David Wright, who lives a few doors down from the scene of the fire, said: "It broke out at around 5.30pm.
"I could see the smoke and then the fire brigade arrived really quickly. I had to move my car as it was really close. Everyone was just stood out on the street then watching it."
