WELLESLEY, MASS. (WHDH) - Firefighters extinguished a 2-alarm house fire in Wellesley early Sunday morning.
Crews responding to a reported house fire on Durant Road around 4:15 a.m. found heavy flames showing from the home and were able to knock it down quickly.
Newton firefighters responded to assist.
Wellesley Fire Chief Rick DeLorie says no one was home at the time.
“There was heavy fire showing so I don’t know how long its been burning since, it was pretty much contained to the outside, some interior work had to be done,” he said.
Crews say there is significant damage to the front of the home.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
Busy night; E7 L1 C2 at Wellesley’s 2nd alarm at 24 Durant Rd last night. E4 and the ASU responded later to assist.
