A fire destroyed a home in Haverhill, Massachusetts, just one day after Christmas, with firefighters being forced to use water from the Merrimack River to put the fire out, officials said.
By the time firefighters arrived on scene, the fire had already taken over the home, and the family of four, including two kids ages 7 and 10, were safely out of the house. A house in Haverhill was destroyed Monday morning after the homeowner reported having electrical issues with their hot tub. Crews were forced to take water from the Merrimack River to attack the fire, but unfortunately the house is considered a total loss.
When fire crews tried to use a nearby hydrant to battle the flames, it wouldn't work, so firefighters resorted to using water from the Merrimack River to put out the blaze.
