Fire crews responded to a Massachusetts junkyard Friday afternoon for a raging fire that sent plumes of black smoke billowing into the sky and at least one person to the hospital severely burned, officials confirmed with Fox News Digital.

Billerica Fire Department said that officials are investigating the large fire at Jack's Used Cars & Parts that broke out on Friday afternoon at 3 p.m. Officials confirmed that the large fire started in a 50 by 100-foot building made out of steel with several vehicles parked nearby it.

Billerica fire officials said that a male employee was taken by a MedFlight ambulance to Lahey Hospital and Medical Center in Burlington, Massachusetts.

Officials have not given an update on his condition

Firefighters said that they had water supply issues while fighting on the cane since the nearest fire hydrant was about 1,800 feet away. Firefighters from Burlington, Chelmsford, Lowell and Tewksbury assisted on scene.

Images and video of the scene show large plumes of smoke from the fire.

At 7 p.m., officials said that the fire is under control with investigators looking into the cause of the fire.

JESSE WATTERS: The press might know AOC, but the people don't

FOX News host Jesse Watters condemns Democrats for making New York a "border state" on "Jesse Watters Primetime." 

JESSE WATTERS: The press may know AOC, but the people don't. The politicians know her, but real New Yorkers don't know who she is and if they do, they don't like her. This is a microcosm of the Democratic Party's detachment from the streets. Pontificate about the blessings of "Bidenomics," but once you walk the sidewalks, step out of your town car, it's not resonating.

LIBERAL COLUMNISTS URGE BIDEN TO DUMP HARRIS, PICK NEW 2024 RUNNING MATE: 'BETTER OPTIONS AVAILABLE'

Jerry Nadler joined AOC in declaring the wonderful virtues of sanctuary cities — an ancient congressman who should know better — Jerry spent his whole life in politics, and somehow he hasn't earned an ounce of New Yorkers' respect.

This country is just hungry for politicians who just speak for us, who listen to us and then deliver. Sure, Mayor Eric Adams made a big speech, but was that to save New York or to save his own hide? Looks like to me he's just begging for a bailout. I respect Eric Adams because of his law enforcement background, but he's also better than Bill de Blasio, but enough with the stunts. You slept on a cot, OK, but Biden made New York into a border state and you won't even say his name.
