LEDGEVIEW (NBC 26) — No injuries were reported in a house fire Thursday afternoon on Stagecoach Road in Ledgeview, authorities said.
Officials said the home was a total loss, but all three occupants were able to get out safely. A power line was also downed.
According to crews at the scene, the large response was due to a lack of hydrants in the area, prompting firefighters to request additional water tenders.
Eight departments responded to the fire because of the limited water access. Crews also used water from a nearby pond. Extreme heat was another factor in the large response, as firefighters needed to rotate out before conditions became unsafe.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
