According to fire officials on scene, multiple agencies responded to the 2-alarm fire. No one was home at the time, though officials said it's unclear if anyone lived in the home, which sustained heavy damage due to the fire. No injuries were reported.
Officials said it took them roughly 15-20 minutes to get the blaze under control. Firefighters had some issues along the way because they said the area is considered a rural water location, so they needed to haul their own water from about a mile away. Additional resources were also necessitated because of the cold weather.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
