Upon arrival, firefighters found a two-story barn that was well involved, with defensive fire conditions.
A mutual aid call was activated, which requested assistance from Munson, Newbury, Middlefield, and Concord Fire Departments.
The barn was unoccupied, and no injuries to animals or people were reported.
Due to the severe weather conditions and cold temperatures, along with a lack of sustainable water supply, the fire was difficult for crews to extinguish.
Crews were on the scene of the fire until about 9:30 a.m.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
