The call went out to dozens of fire departments across mainland Nova Scotia and at one point, about 100 firefighters from four different counties were on scene.
“We had up to 28 departments here in all total, from different places,” said Deputy Chief James Robinson of the Rawdon Fire Department.
Some of the departments had to help bring water to the scene by tanker trucks.
There were no injuries reported and no reports of animals being harmed.
The cause remains under investigation.
