"We put it out very quickly," she said. "The fire was limited to an exterior wall. I called the state fire marshal to assist, just because of the nature of the fire."

Woodbury Police Sgt. Joseph Roden said the state fire marshal and the state police major district crime personnel are investigating the cause of the fire.

This is not the first time the state fire marshal has been called to the property. On July 22, 2012, a barn caught on fire and was knocked down in about 20 minutes. The home and barn belong to Iris Lord.

"Not that there's anything suspicious, but I always like to cross all my 'T's' and dot all the 'I's' when I see activity taking place at the same location in such a short period of time," said Morgan.
