One person is missing after a huge fire tore through a home in Needham, Massachusetts on Christmas Eve.

Flames broke out in large single-family house on Woodworth Road around 5 a.m. Wednesday and quickly went through the roof on the third floor.

"Two occupants escaped, a third is unaccounted for," Jake Wark, the spokesman for the State Fire Marshal's office, said in a statement.

"State Police fire investigators assigned to the State Fire Marshal's office are assisting but we are a ways off from a cause."

There is extensive damage to the home.

It's not clear yet where the fire started.

No other information is available at this point in the investigation.
