According to the department, the fire is now knocked down but there appears to be significant damage to a building along the road.
The department said the fire appears to have started in a townhome before spreading to another unit. Crews reported heavy fire on the outside of the structure as they arrived on the scene.
The homeowner was not home at the time, the neighbor where the fire spread to was, but was able to get out of the home. At this time it is unknown how many people have been displaced because of the fire.
Crews believe it could be a possible hoarding situation based on the difficulty they had fighting the fire.
At this time it is unclear what caused the fire but in a post to X, the department says they believe this fire may have started as an outside fire.
There were no injuries according to the department. ___
