A fire broke out in Upper Darby, Delaware County on Christmas Day.

The fire began in the basement and worked its way up to the second floor.

When crews arrived, they entered the home and found sections of the first floor missing making it very dangerous to fight the fire.

This forced the firefighters to use an exterior attack on the fire.

The flames eventually worked their way up through the walls and broke through the roof of the home.

Crews were forced to call in a second alarm bringing in additional manpower to help extinguish the fire.

There were no reported injuries.
