Firefighters said they relied on tankers instead of tapping a hydrant.
“Some villages have older infrastructure that if we tap a hydrant we could potentially collapse a water line,” Eagle Fire & Rescue said on Facebook.
Authorities said the residents and their pets escaped the fire.
But Eagle Fire & Rescue shared photos showing heavy damage and offered the homeowners its condolences.
