Tewksbury Firefighters Respond To 3-Alarm Fire

TEWKSBURY (CBS) - A fire at a Tewksbury house Monday went to three alarms before it was finally put out.

The owner of the house at 70 Chestnut Road says he noticed there was a problem and immediately called 9-1-1. The blaze started in a wall between the first and second floors and quickly spread to the roof.

The man says he was able to get his wife and three teenage sons out of the house unharmed.

Fire officials say the cause was an electrical problem.

There are no estimates on the amount of damage at this time.
