A firefighter is recovering after battling a blaze in Fresno's Sunnyside neighborhood.

The fire broke out at a home on Park Circle Drive, not far from the Sunnyside Country Club.

Neighbors spotted smoke and flames coming from the roof.

Firefighters had a tough time getting around inside the house because there was so much stuff all over the place.

Fresno Fire Battalion Chief Tony Escobedo said, "The bad thing is we have a hoarding situation at this house and my firefighters had to actually climb over rubbish, trash, clothing, all kinds of stuff, just to get to the scene of the fire."

One firefighter was taken to the hospital for heat exhaustion.

The woman who lives at home was not there at the time of the fire.

Investigators still don't know how the fire started.
