Emergency crews were on scene in Duxbury Tuesday after a fire broke out in a local home. 

The fire was burning in a house on Bay Avenue near the Duxbury-Marshfield line near 12 p.m. Cell phone video showed black smoke billowing over the area while flames leapt from the house’s windows.

Smoke was still pouring out of the house near 12:20 p.m. and some flames were still visible as crews responded. SKY7-HD flying over the scene spotted firefighters running hose lines through several neighboring properties.

Near 12:45 p.m., crews were still pouring water on the home while smoke continued to billow upward. 

Duxbury police in a post on X said emergency crews from Duxbury and Marshfield were on scene as a result of the fire. Police asked community members to avoid the area.

The Duxbury Fire Department in a post on Facebook said the emergency response had grown to two alarms as of around 1 p.m. The fire department said all off duty firefighters had been called back to work. Officials also called on multiple nearby fire departments to help cover the rest of Duxbury while local crews were busy on Bay Avenue.

No further information was immediately available about the cause of the fire or any related injuries.

Virginia family gets keys to Habitat for Humanity’s first 3D-printed home in the US

By
(CNN) — One Virginia family received the keys to their new  3D-printed home  in time for Christmas. The home is Habitat for Humanity’s first 3D-printed home in the nation,  according to a Habitat news release. Janet V. Green, CEO of Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg, told CNN it partnered with Alquist, a 3D printing company, earlier this year to begin the process. The 1,200-square-foot home has three bedrooms, two full baths and was built from concrete. The technology allowed the home to be built in just 12 hours, which saves about four weeks of construction time for a typical home. April Stringfield purchased the home through the  Habitat Homebuyer Program . She will move in with her 13-year-old son just in time for the holidays. “My son and I are so thankful,” Stringfield said in a  live feed streamed on Habitat’s Facebook  page. “I always wanted to be a homeowner.

The athlete says in the lawsuit that coaches were notified he doesn’t eat pork or pork residue as a member of the Hebrew Israelite religious faith, but that they ordered him to eat the pizza as punishment for missing an offseason workout — and indicated his spot on the team was at risk if he didn’t. The coaches say the player chose to remove pepperoni and eat the pizza rather than an alternative food. They weren’t aware it violated his religious beliefs, according to a  defamation case they filed  previously against the teen’s father, his a...

After court victories, Michael Jackson estate eyes revival

By
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Michael Jackson’s musical legacy never left, but a kind of comeback is coming. With a series of court victories that bring the end to serious legal crises, with a Broadway show beginning and a Cirque du Soleil show returning after a long pandemic pause, the Jackson business is on the upswing 12 years after the pop superstar’s death. Very recently, things looked grim. The 2019 HBO documentary “  Leaving Neverland  ” raised child molestation allegations anew. The once-dead lawsuits brought by the two men featured in it had been  revived  by changes in the law. And a decision in the estate’s appeal of a $700 million tax bill was taking years to arrive. “I was always optimistic,” John Branca, the entertainment attorney who worked with Jackson through many of his biggest triumphs and now serves as co-executor of his estate, told The Associated Press in an interview at his Beverly Hills home. “Michael inspired the planet and his music still ...
