Crews used the pond on the property to help establish a water supply, according to the post.

Authorities on-scene stated that the single digit temperatures, and icy conditions made it difficult to battle the fire.

Officials confirmed that the home is a total loss, and that the Red Cross is assisting the family of four.

A State Police Fire Marshall will be investigating the cause of the fire.

Crews cleared the scene around 6:00 a.m. Sunday morning.
