A house fire in Connecticut on Thanksgiving was likely caused by someone frying a turkey inside the home's garage, the fire department said.
Photos and videos of the fire showed the house fully ablaze as firefighters worked to extinguish the flames.
The Weston Volunteer Fire Department said in a statement that firefighters attempted to aggressively extinguish the fire as the garage fire began to rapidly spread to the residence, but were thwarted by dangerous fire conditions and a collapsed structure.
A car also crashed onto the hose firefighters were using to extinguish the fire, stopping the flow of water for several minutes.
