The MFD did a great job of confining the fire to the structure of origin. This house was already a total loss by the time the first 911 call came in.
This is an older neighborhood with the houses close together and made of balloon frame construction. This fire could have easily spread to nearby houses.
Aggressive exposure protection and the initial use of big lines followed by master streams saved the neighborhood.
