BOSTON (WHDH) - Boston firefighters battled a fast-moving blaze that torched a home in West Roxbury on Tuesday.
Fire crews responding to a reported structure fire at 4 Perham St. about 4:50 p.m. found smoke pouring out of the two-story single-family home.
The fire was quickly extinguished but before it left the home a complete loss.
“It’s very unfortunate on Christmas Day to have something like this happen,” fire spokesman Marc Sanders said.
The residents were not home when the blaze broke out and there were no reported injuries.
The fire caused an estimated $200,000 in damage.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
