VIDEO: Crews battled a multi-alarm fire in a large Victorian-style home in Newton, Massachusetts. The fire broke out late Wednesday morning at the home at 8 Central Ave. in the city's Newtonville section. From Sky 5, large flames and heavy smoke were seen coming from the upper floors of the white home, and fire crews used hoses from multiple ladder trucks to extinguish the flames. The home is located less than a block from a Newton Fire Station. Newton police said Crafts Street at Watertown Street and Central Avenue at Prescott Street were closed to traffic. According to real estate listings, the 4,777-square foot, seven-bedroom Queen Ann Victorian home was built in 1884 and last sold in 2021 for $1.5 million. From Sky5, it appears renovations are underway at the home. There was no immediate word on injuries or what may have started the fire.
