BRIGHTON - Eight people are without a home after a fire tore through a home in Boston's Brighton neighborhood early Saturday morning.

The fire started at a home near Pratt and Ashford streets. Boston Fire confirms all firefighters were ordered out of the building at one point because the fire conditions were so intense.

Several firefighters were treated at the scene for minor burns. The fire caused an estimated $2 million in damages.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Boston Fire also responded to an early-morning fire in Dorchester, where one firefighter was treated at the scene for injuries.
