The Continental Village Fire Department was dispatched to Sprout Brook Road for a reported structure fire. While responding, dispatch updated units they were getting multiple calls for a large fire. First-due units arrived to a heavy fire load in a large private dwelling. The long driveway mixed with the snow and ice made it impossible to pull a rig up the driveway. A courtyard stretch was made to help supply water to the house. Crews maintained an exterior attack as the building slowly collapsed.
