A home owned by the son of Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D) burned down in a fire Tuesday morning.
Firefighters responded to the scene around 1 a.m. and remained on the scene as of 9 a.m. to monitor hot spots.
“I deeply appreciate the efforts of the firefighters who worked through the night to put out a fire at our son’s house,” the Democrat senator said in a statement. “I am grateful that everyone is safe and request privacy for our family.”
The home reportedly was undergoing renovations for about a year and was vacant.
At one point, flames and heavy smoke took over the two-and-a-half-story home and the windows were blown out
According to reports from Fox News, the cause of the fire was not immediately known but the structure appears to be completely lost.
Firefighters who managed to put out the raging blaze told local news affiliate WFXT they had water pressure issues as the home is on top of a hill.
“Up here on the hill, every foot of elevation you draw pressure losses,” Medford Fire Chief John Freedman said. “They’re flowing a lot of water and that puts strain on the systems.”
According to city records, the house was valued at $1.3 million
