Mutual aid response to a ranch house, owner is ok, early 70's woman lives alone and had no phone to contact 911 when a fire started in her kitchen. She started a fire in a field behind her home to signal her neighbor (who lives 7 miles away) who contacted 911. 8 miles of dirt road and 13 miles of two rut road made getting structure engines a challenge. The home unfortunately was a total loss, the field fire was around 10 acres.
