BURLINGTON — A fire severely damaged a one-story house in southeast Burlington early Tuesday.
The fire at 217 Bradley St. was reported about 3:45 a.m., and firefighters arrived to find “heavy fire conditions” in the rear of the house, the Burlington Fire Department said.
Firefighters ensured all occupants had evacuated the house and began to extinguish the fire from the outside. Once the fire was knocked down, they went in to put out the remainder of the fire and conducted searches to confirm that all occupants were accounted for outside, the fire department said.
The fire was under control in approximately 40 minutes.
Firefighters remained on the scene for an extended period making sure all hotspots were out, given the extensive fire damage, which was estimated at about $220,000 to the structure, the fire department said. The estimated value of contents lost due to the fire is $20,000.
The cause of the fire was still under investigation.
The American Red Cross is helping the residents.
