WORCESTER, MA — A home that was previously damaged in a fire several months ago went up in smoke again early Tuesday morning.

A fire broke out in a home at 26 Oxford St. just after midnight. The fire grew to three alarms by around 12:45 a.m. Heavy flames were photographed shooting from the roof of the home.

The home, near the intersection of Chatham Street, caught fire on Sept. 30, and one resident was displaced, according to the Worcester Telegram.
