First units on scene reported a fire in a large 3 story house and command asked for a code 4 upgrade on this fire.

The fire had spread to the attic and was out the roof so command requested a box alarm for manpower due to the -0 temps.

Firefighters worked the attic and the 3rd floor to try and contain this fire.

Firefighters had to work in -0 temps which made it hard cause everything kept freezing up and the ground was all ice.
