A three-alarm fire broke out at a Marshfield building that is being renovated into housing for veterans.
The fire department responded just after 5 a.m. this morning, with mutual aid including Norwell, Duxbury, Pembroke, and Hanover.
The fire appeared to be quickly knocked down, but crews remained on scene for an extended period of time. Crews used chainsaws to cut holes in the roof.
The fire department says there are no injuries at the scene. Further information about a potential cause of the fire was not immediately available.
Police Chief Phil Tavares said the home was not occupied. The property is owned by NeighborWorks Housing and was set to include eight studio apartments for at-risk and homeless veterans.
Route 139 along that stretch of Ocean Street is now re-opened to traffic in both directions.
