Wed. Fire Challenging to Battle

A fire on the western edge of the metro challeneged crews forom several communities yesterday. Just after 9:00 a.m., firefighters responded to a fire in a rural area of West Des Moines on Booneville Road. Firefighters say the big problem was a lack of fire hydrants and water had to be hauled in. The house also sat back from the road, which made it difficult for firefighters to get to it. Two rooms of the house suffered extensive damage. No one was hurt. Cause is unknown so far.
