A large fire broke out Saturday night at a home in Sudbury, Massachusetts, with conditions deteriorating quickly and the roof collapsing.
The Sudbury Fire Department confirmed crews were at 82 Hemlock Road battling the flames around 8 p.m., and that additional support had been requested on scene.
Firefighters had to be pulled out of the home after the collapse, the fire chief said, citing the size of the home and the way it was constructed. Crews could be seen spraying water onto the roof as they knelt in the grass near the road.
There was extensive damage to the rear of the home, and it is expected to be a total loss.
