WATCH: Crews battle high winds, fierce flames which started brush fire at Plymouth residence

PLYMOUTH, Mass. — Firefighters battled a heavy blaze and high winds in Plymouth on Wednesday night.

Companies responded to a residence on Alden Court around 7:30 p.m. for a report of a fire in a two-story garage.

Video shows flames fully engulfing the structure, with embers shooting into the air. Officials say the windy, cold conditions added more fuel to the fire that threatened a cluster of homes in the area.

There were no reports of any injuries, but the fire extended to a neighboring outbuilding on the property, eventually starting a brush fire some 500 feet away.

Those fires were contained with minimal damage, according to authorities.

“The first-arriving companies made a quick decision to call for backup and having all that manpower made all the difference,” Chief Neil Foley said. “[Additional crews] were able to contain the fire to the outbuildings and avoid the occupied structures.”

The bulk of the fire was knocked down within an hour.
