Freezing conditions made it difficult for firefighters to navigate the property, Fire Chief Mike O’Brien said in a release.

Mutual aid was called from surrounding towns including Middleborough, Freetown, Raynham, and Berkley.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but it is not believed to be suspicious, according to O’Brien.
