Neighborhood fire photos

Neighborhood reporter Sandy Story turned in these photos just a bit ago of last night's fire in the next neighborhood. No one was injured, but substantial damage occurred, though we've heard no assessment of it yet. Sandy also got a shot of the water reservoir (below) used to manage water flow when hydrants are not available.
Sandy writes:
Stan,
I should have sent these to you last night ... but I was too tired.
I probably wouldn't have made it as a reporter for the Shakopee Valley News. Also, there is one of the water reservoir ... the tank trucks were dumping into it and the hoses were pumping out of it. I never saw this before. But, when you have no water hydrant in your neighborhood this is what they have to do.

Stan says: Thanks for the contribution, Sandy. Hope you got your rest as there's a big Christmas party in the neighborhood tonight.
