A two-alarm fire at a home on Main Street in Weymouth caused extensive damage and remains under investigation today as police and fire departments survey the scene.

Occupants of the two-family home got out safely after someone knocked on their doors when the fire first started.

Firefighters were called at 8 p.m. and were on the scene until 1:15 a.m. as high-winds fanned the flames. One Quincy firefighter suffered minor injuries, but no one else was hurt, said Weymouth Deputy Chief John Haslan.
