BOSTON (WHDH) - A multi-family home went up in flames in Hyde Park Wednesday afternoon, according to Boston Fire.
More than 80 firefighters responded to the home on West Street at approximately 3:45 p.m. When they arrived, they found heavy fire and smoke coming from the second and third floors that quickly spread to the roof.
Firefighters attacked the fire using both ground and aerial ladders.
Boston Fire said all crews were eventually ordered out of the third floor and the roof.
“This is a tough fire,” said Boston Fire Commissioner Paul Burke. “I can tell by the look of the firefighters and all the debris on their coats and they’re changing their bottles. They had a tough fire and without that equipment on, I don’t think they would have had a long time in there.”
Seven people were inside the home at the time, but all were able to evacuate safely.
The fire has since been extinguished.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
