This from Eric Haak:

The following are images taken at a MABAS Box in Lowell, Indiana on April 29th. While this was a Lowell address, the fire was in the Lake Dalecarlia Volunteer Fire Department’s district. A Lowell engine drafted from a nearby pond and nearly 1,000 feet of 5-inch was stretched to the fire scene. Almost all the water used in the suppression efforts was taken from this pond.
