Brockton Fire Chief Brian Nardelli said by the time his first crews arrived at around 6 p.m. Sunday, the flames and smoke were so intense they had to attack it from outside.
It took about an hour and a half to get it under control.

Nardelli said the fire appears to have started in the front of the house, in the living room – according to the homeowner.
One person inside the home was transported to the hospital by ambulance, but just for evaluation. No other injuries were reported.
The chief said it was a tricky fire to get under control.
“When you’re fighting a fire defensively in this operation, you’re knocking down the main problem, but there will be hot pockets in different places in this building," Nardelli said.
The home appears to be a total loss. The cause and origin of the fire remain under investigation.
