PITTSFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – Around 4:23 a.m., a large log cabin-style home caught on fire on 154 Blythewood Drive in Pittsfield.

Pittsfield Fire department says smoke was seen around a fireplace/stone facade in the great room. The fire appeared to be contained in a chimney.

Pittsfield Fire later determined that the fire had been actively burning in the wood between the stone facade and exterior chimney. The fire crew wasn’t able to access the space until the entire facade was removed from the roofline to the fireplace.
