He says fire fighters battled the blaze from the outside of the house. “There is extensive damage to the house. We had fire coming through the roof, and also in the interior of the structure. The units predominantly had to fight the fire from the exterior due to the extensive fire conditions within the dwelling,” says Jewell.
