WESTON, MASS. (WHDH) - Fire crews were working to contain both a house fire and multiple, smaller brush fires in Weston Friday afternoon.
The Weston Fire Department said its personnel were working at the 500 block of North Avenue around 1:10 p.m. for what soon became a 4-alarm fire.
SKY7-HD spotted firefighters spraying in and around a multistory home where heavy smoke poured out of openings in the roof. A patch of flames could also be seen burning on the roof, towards the center of the house.
One side of the house was heavily-charred as crews worked multiple hoses across the large property.

At the same time, crews could be seen working to contain several, smaller brush fires burning near the property and off a nearby side street.
On the department’s Facebook page, officials said flying embers appeared to be a factor as their response continued.
Additional details were not immediately released.
Flames in Weston came after the National Weather Service’s Boston office issued a red flag warning early Friday morning, citing low daytime relative humidity and gusty winds as factors behind an elevated fire risk across much of southern New England.
Experts asked individuals to avoid outdoor burning and to be careful with other activities that could spark flames.
Outside Weston, crews responded to multiple other brush fire incidents on Friday in communities including Burlington and Braintree
