Crews from the west and north of the county attended the house fire on Gwyn Crescent at about 4.45pm, and the ambulance service was called as a precaution.
Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service said occupants were home at the time the fire broke out, but all escaped safely.
Neighbour Gemma Grand said the first retained fire crew was on the scene within 10 minutes.
"I can't believe anyone is considering cutting back on these services," she added.
