Peabody Roof Opened As House Fire Hits Second Alarm: Reports

UPDATED 1 p.m.

PEABODY, MA — Peabody fire crews opened the roof of a home on Carlton Street early Tuesday morning as they battled a blaze that reached two alarms.

Crews were pouring water on "heavy pockets of fire" within the 2.5-story building, according to emergency services reports.

There were no reports of injuries or anyone stuck in the building but WFXT-TV reported that eight adults and seven children were displaced in the fire.

The station said it was a passerby who saw the flames coming from the home and went to the door to alert the residents to get out.

Patch will update this developing story as more information becomes available.
