Crews from multiple stations worked together to battle the blaze at the two-story home.

“Firefighters made an aggressive interior attack with multiple hose lines,” said MCFR in a Facebook post.

Due to the rural location hydrants weren’t available and multiple water tankers were brought in to battle the blaze. MCFR says Levy County Fire Rescue provided mutual and supplied their tanker to assist in the fire fight.
Despite best efforts, the flames destroyed the home. The American Red Cross is assisting the family.
