One person rescued from Somerville house fire

A person had to be rescued by firefighters after a fire broke out late Saturday night at a home in Somerville, Massachusetts.

The Somerville Firefighters Union says a 911 call was made around 10 p.m. reporting the fire near a construction site on Dover Street. Fire crews arrived to find heavy fire at the back of a large, three-story home.

Firefighters from Cambridge, Boston, Medford and Arlington were called in to assist with the blaze.

A fire captain and three other firefighters discovered a disoriented resident on the third floor, the union said. The victim was brought to safety by a ladder crew and taken to a local hospital. There was no update on their condition.

Fire officials did not say what caused the fire, or how much damage it caused.
