FALMOUTH, Mass. --

A construction worker died from injuries suffered in an attic fire in a home Saturday afternoon, fire officials said.

The Cape Cod Times reported four firefighters were also taken to the hospital with minor injuries.

Firefighters were called to the scene at 2:13 p.m., where an insulation worker was trapped in the attic of a home that was being renovated, according to the Falmouth firefighters.

Officials believed the fire was related to foam insulation being sprayed into the attic.

The house had significant smoke and water damage.

Firefighters told the Cape Cod Times that foul play had been ruled out.

All of the firefighters names were being withheld.
