Stillwater Fire

A Stillwater family's home is destroyed after a fire at 10 Tuesday night, but the family is safe thanks to their smoke detectors.

Firefighters had to truck in water because there are no hydrants in the area. Three people inside the home escaped unharmed after hearing smoke alarms go off.

Four crews battled the flames Tuesday night.

"When we're in a rural setting, we need to shuttle water in to fight the fire," said Stillwater Fire Chief Stuart Glaser. "It's a devastating fire, a devastating loss for the family. It's unfortunate."
