A house fire in Connecticut on Thanksgiving was likely the result of someone frying a turkey inside the home's garage, the fire department said.
Photos and videos of the fire show the house was completely engulfed as firefighters raced to put out the blaze.
The Weston Volunteer Fire Department said in a statement that fire crews attempted an aggressive attack on the blaze when the garage fire began to quickly spread to the home, but were thwarted by dangerous fire conditions and structural collapse.
A car also passed over the hoses that firefighters were using to put out the fire, stopping the flow of water for several minutes.
The fire was finally extinguished after 16 hours and the house was deemed uninhabitable.
There were no injuries, and the official cause of the fire is still under investigation.
The nearly $3 million home is 10,000 square feet, CT Insider reported, adding that about 25 people were home for Thanksgiving when the fire broke out around 3:40 p.m.
The Weston Volunteer Fire Department was assisted by several others, including the Westport, Wilton, Reading, West Reading, Georgetown, Weston and Ridgefield fire departments.
