Efficient work from Brookline fire crews knocked down a house fire on Clark Road Monday afternoon.

Multiple crews responded to the fire which was reported in the roof of the home.

According to Deputy Fire Chief Keith Flaherty, the initial call indicated a fire in the roof and when crews arrived they found heavy fire on the second and third floors.

After locating the fire, crews were able to knock it down in 20 minutes.

"We had to find the seeds of the fire, break open walls to get at it," Flaherty said.

There was a teenager at the home when the fire was reported, but the house's fire alarms prompted the teen to get out, Flaherty said. No injuries were reported.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

"There's a lot of damage throughout, three rooms are just torn apart," Flaherty said.
