Boston firefighters battled a three-alarm blaze that broke out at a three-floor home in Dorchester on Friday.

Boston firefighters Friday morning were battling a blaze at a three-floor home in Dorchester, according to officials.

The fire started shortly before 6:15 a.m. at the building at 34 Stanley St. The blaze swept through the rear of the home on the first and second floors, causing a second alarm to be ordered, the Boston Fire Department tweeted.

The blaze has since traveled to the roof of the occupied building, and a third alarm has been issued to get more firefighters to the scene, according to the department.

“Extensive overhauling being done,” the department tweeted around 6:45 a.m.

The department did not say whether anyone was injured in the fire.

It is unclear if any residents were displaced by the blaze.
