MEDFORD, MASS. (WHDH) - Firefighters in Medford responded to a blaze at a house in Medford Wednesday morning.
Five adults and six children live in the house, which is potentially a total loss after the fire, officials said.
Two pets, a dog and a bird, were killed in the fire. No human injuries were reported.
“We got here, heavy fire out of the rear of the building,” Deputy Fire Chief Tom Brennan said. “Once it got up into the attic it was very stubborn.”
