Massive Fire Destroys Windy Hill Farm Home, Tanker Operation Needed
Great Barrington, MA - Firefighters battled a heavily involved garage fire that extended into a large two-story home at the Windy Hill Farm property on Stockbridge Road, ultimately destroying the residence.
Command struck additional alarms early after a large smoke column was visible from miles away.
Crews initiated an exterior attack with a deck gun before transitioning to defensive operations due to advanced fire conditions.
A limited water supply and a long access driveway required a tanker task force operation, bringing in extensive mutual aid to support suppression efforts.
The fire was brought under control in about an hour, though the home was declared a total loss and two occupants were displaced.
No injuries were reported, and the cause remains under investigation, not considered suspicious.
