Firefighters responded to the fire at the 4500 block of Kocurek Street, near Mueller and Airport boulevards, just before 4 a.m.
A residential sprinkler system extinguished the blaze before firefighters arrived to the home and contained it to the area where the tree stood. Firefighters helped mitigate the smoke and water.
Fire and water damage were estimated to be around $30,000, fire investigators said.
“It is past time for dry trees to be removed from your home,” officials said in a tweet Sunday.
No reports of injuries were made.
