The fast-spreading fire broke out sometime around 11:30 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 6, the town’s Fire Department said.
The three-alarm fire was at 15 Dennison Lane, a residential structure.
The flames spread quickly due to there being 2 venting 20 lb. propane cylinders involved in the fire, firefighters said.
No injuries were reported.
In addition to Southbridge firefighters, representatives from other departments were on scene or otherwise providing assistance including Dudley.
A GoFundMe has been started by neighbor Kim Patraw for the man living in the Southbridge home. According to the registry of deeds, the residence is owned by David Dupuis and Jeanette Dupuis.
