A fire started on a porch early Sunday morning.
Residents were displaced after a fire that engulfed a three-season porch and extended to the rest of the building at 12 Salisbury St. early Sunday morning.
Shrewsbury fire responded to a call shortly before 2 a.m. to the house on Salisbury, which is off Route 20 near Edgemere.
The three-season porch on the left side of the home was engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived, said Fire Chief Jim Vuona.
