FALL RIVER, M.A. (WLNE) — Two families were displaced after a large fire Sunday afternoon.

Officials say the fire started at the back of a house on Cambridge Street where the flames melted the siding.

The house appears to be a total loss.

Witnesses say they could not believe their eyes.

“We came outside and I looked to the right of my house and I’m like, oh my gosh, it was totally engulfed in flames,” said neighbor Cleo Resendez.

Family members tell ABC6 News that a dog died. No one else was injured.

Fire investigators are still trying to determine the cause.
