En route to the fire the first responding engine reported seeing smoke from a distance away. Upon arrival the first company found heavy fire in the rear of the 20x30 cape style structure. The fire appears to have started in an attached garage before quickly moving into the main structure and the roof area. Firefighters were able to quickly search the home, which is occupied, but found no one. Due to heavy smoke and the quickly moving fire firefighters were forced to attack the fire from the exterior of the home.
