A fire broke out early Tuesday morning at a home in Lowell, Massachusetts, leaving 10 people displaced.

Firefighters were seen at a home on Andrews Street, where smoke was coming from the roof and top floor of the home.

Fire officials said that crews arrived just before 4 a.m., and found fire coming from the back of the building. The fire seemed to have started in the third floor and extended to the attic, according to the Lowell Fire Department.

No one was reported injured in the fire.

Crews said they had a hard time getting to the fourth floor due to hoarding conditions.

Heavy damage was left to the third and fourth floors of the home.

Andrews Street is situated between Lawrence Street and Moore Street, and about a mile and a half south of the city's downtown.
