A Berlin family was forced out of their home by fire early Tuesday morning.
Fire officials said the house at 54 Sun Meadow Drive was engulfed in flames when crews arrived. A family of had three escaped the home before firefighters got there.
Firefighters began attacking the fire from outside. It took around an hour to put out the blaze. In the process, part of the roof and the second floor collapsed.
“Everything fell into the first floor so we had to go around digging through everything to get the hotspots and remaining fire out, and that’s what crews are doing at this time," East Berlin Fire Chief Thomas Farr said.
No injuries have been reported.
State police said it appears the fire started in the living room, near the couch. The fire marshal has determined the fire was accidental.
