“We have four firetrucks on scene, the rest of the emergency crews are here as well. They’ve got the street blocked off as they work to contain it,” he says. “Looks like it’s down to smoke here, some fire inside the house, a lot of smoke coming from this one.”
Fire crews were eventually able to gain control and knock the fire down.
It’s not clear if anyone was seriously hurt, and a cause is yet to be determined.
