The first engine reported heavy smoke and fire coming from the home and quickly upgraded, bringing additional crews and equipment from other locations to assist in fighting the fire. The fire was contained to the one home, as crews remained on the scene until around 1 a.m. Sunday.

Crews from 11 surrounding towns assisted, either at the fire or in manning the department's two fire stations while firefighters were at the scene.

The cause of the fire is unknown at this time, officials said.
