Crews say the fire started in the back of the house and quickly moved to the inside. Around five people have been displaced due to the fire but no injuries were reported.

"Lots going on against us, first of all, the weather it's cold it's wet, the property itself is off the road a little bit, a lot of trees surrounding it, hilly terrain, difficulty getting around to the rear of the structure," stated Jim Floryshak, firefighter with Back Mountain Regional Fire Department.

The fire is currently under investigation for a cause.
