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.
