ALLSTON, MASS. (WHDH) - Crews were called to the scene of a massive house fire in Brookline Monday evening.

SKY 7HD captured the intense fight as several firefighters climbed onto the roof of the three-story Hamilton Road apartment building to try and extinguish the heavy flames poking through.

Thick, black smoke could also be seen rising into the air.

“The fire extended from the right-hand side of the building up to the firewall, located in the center of the building,” Keith Flaherty Chief of Operations for the Brookline Fire Department said.

Everyone inside the building was able to self-evacuate and no injuries were reported.

The fire was knocked down by 5:30 p.m., according to a post on the Boston Fire Department’s Twitter page.

“We’ve displaced in the order of probably 30 residents, and they’ll have to find alternate housing for tonight,” Flaherty said.

The cause remains under investigation.
