BILLERICA, MASS. (WHDH) - Emergency crews were on scene in Billerica Monday while a large fire tore through a local home.
The fire happened near the intersection of Rangeway Road and Nashua Road.
SKY7-HD was over the scene shortly before 12 p.m. and spotted the ongoing emergency response while smoke and flames billowed overhead.
The fire began in the home’s garage, where the homeowner was working on a car.
The two residents were able to evacuate the house safely while firefighters from five surrounding communities responded to the scene.
The fire badly burned part of the house. Flames also at one point leapt over a fence and burned a grassy area next to the home.
Crews were eventually able to contain and extinguish the blaze.
“We’re lucky, you know, the timing’s everything, it happened around lunchtime, everyone was up and around. They were able to come and help the neighbors get out of their house,” said Billerica Fire Deputy Chief Stephen Kennedy.
Other than a burned fence, none of the neighboring homes were damaged in the fire.
