At about 5.35am, one crew from Chatteris and one crew from Manea were called to a fire on New Road.
Firefighters arrived to find a fire on the ground floor of a house.
Wearing breathing apparatus, they extinguished the fire using a hose reel and cleared the smoke using a positive pressure ventilation fan.
