Hull Fire Chief Chris Russo lauded crews "did a tremendous job of keeping this to one house and not losing a whole block."

Firefighters on the South Shore of Massachusetts are being praised for their efforts at a massive house fire Monday evening.

Hull Fire Chief Chris Russo told a WCVB reporter the combination of intense flames and strong winds caused siding to melt on the house across the street. 

"There was a lot for them to contend with, but they did a tremendous job of keeping this to one house and not losing a whole block."

Sadly, a dog perished in the fire. No other injuries were reported.

Departments from seven nearby towns responded to assist with the fire.

The cause remains under investigation.
