The fire department stated that the Connecticut home blaze on Thanksgiving was most likely caused by someone cooking a turkey inside the garage.

The firefighters raced to put out the blaze as photos and video showed the home fully engulfed in flames.

The Weston Volunteer Fire Department stated that fire crews tried to stop the garage fire from spreading to the residence through an aggressive fire attack, but were hindered by hazardous fire conditions and structural collapse.

For several minutes, the flow of water was halted when a car drove over the hose that firefighters were using to extinguish the fire.

After 16 hours, the fire was extinguished and the home has been deemed uninhabitable.

The fire did not result in any injuries, and the official cause is still being investigated.
