Firefighters dealt with a limited water supply and an unmarked, broken fire hydrant while fighting this fire, the spokesperson said.
“The closest fire hydrant was 1300 feet away, which requires fire engines to access,” the spokesperson said. “Once the engines and hose were in place, the crew found that the hydrant was inoperable due to a previous auto accident. The hydrant was not marked out of service.”
They requested water tankers while they accessed the next fire hydrant which was further away.
No injuries were reported.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
