Firefighters from numerous agencies responded and were on the scene within minutes and began aggressively attacking the fire. Remarkably, they had the fire under control within 30 minutes. The barn was not occupied at the time as it was being renovated.

The craftsman style barn had been undergoing an extensive renovation for quite some time. Twin Fields Farm was purchased just a few years ago and has been turned into an event venue recently hosting events such as weddings. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
