Firefighters battled a fire at a multi-million dollar home in Brookline, Massachusetts, on Thursday.
The fire was reported around 10:40 a.m. on Sargent Road. The 13,000-square foot single-family home is valued at over $13 million and was purchased in 2012 for $3.4 million, according to town assessment records.
Aerial images from the fire showed a large brick home with heavy smoke pouring from the upper-level windows. Multiple ladder trucks had their ladders extended over the roof of the home as they battled the blaze.
Firefighters had to open up the roof of the home, which sustained significant water and smoke damage.
The Cambridge Fire Department said in a post on X that they were providing mutual aid response at the fire scene as well as station coverage for Brookline.
