The home and barn were both destroyed, he said, and the State Fire Marshal’s Office was called to investigate.

The home, which Bureau said was “historically” old, had undergone renovation recently.

“It’s really sad,” he said. “They’re great people.”

Firefighters from several communities responded. Litchfield firefighters who responded to the blaze could not be reached for comment Friday night.
