The Lake Forest Fire Department pulled up to a fire just after midnight on Monday and found a very large house well-involved. They requested a Box Alarm on arrival. The roof was ready to fail so they did not attempt an interior attack. The house was located at the end of a dead end street with the nearest hydrant at the end of the block. Two elevated master streams and various hand lines went to work after laying dual 5″ supply lines. The alarm was upgraded to a second alarm for additional resources before the fire was struck out 2 1/2 hours later.
