Houston Fire Department Chief Justin Barnes told local TV station KTRK: “(The firefighters) did a great job.
“I’m going to say in less than 10 minutes, we had a really good grip on this fire.”
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Beyonce Knowles’ family bought the home in 1982.
The star was seen taking photos of the property when she was in her hometown for her Renaissance World Tour in September.
