A three-alarm fire in Milton today damaged a house on the Milton Academy campus, but fire department officials said there were no injuries.

The blaze broke out at about 8:30 a.m. Fire Chief Malcolm Larson said heavy smoke was showing from the second and third floors when firefighters arrived. His department received help from Boston and Canton in fighting the fire.

The cause of the fire on Voses Lane is under investigation. It may have started in the second-floor chimney, Larson said.

The house was empty when firefighters arrived. No one was injured, Larson said.

A Milton Academy spokeswoman said the house was a single-family faculty residence.
