Karl Klotz took in a house fire in Frankfort‘s district last night and submitted several images with the following description:

Frankfort Ladder Co. 2 arrived to find heavy fire showing from the front and rear of this 2-story single family house.  A quick knock down was made from the outside before making entry.  Companies faced 20-degree weather, yet had no water problems and quickly extinguished the fire.
