Fire forces Lynnfield family out of their home on Christmas

A Lynnfield family was forced out of their home early Christmas morning after a fire spread throughout their home.

According to the Lynnfield Fire Department, crews were dispatched to the Summer Street home at 1:50 a.m. after smoke started pouring from the basement.

After fire officials determined the fire had extended to the first and second floors, a 2nd alarm was struck in order to bring in help from other communities.

Crews fought bitter sub-15 degrees temperatures to extinguish the fire.

The family of five was able to escape the home without suffering any injuries.

The fire is being investigated by the Massachusetts State Fire Marshal’s Office.
