Crews battling large fire at $5.4 million home along Lake Minnetonka amid bitter cold
Multiple fire departments responded to a house fire along Lake Minnetonka in Woodland, Minnesota, according to an official with the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office.
Klapprich said there are no hydrants in the area, so the water needed to be tanked in. The bitter cold also made it difficult to fight the fire. The response has grown to a four-alarm fire so crews could be rotated in and out.
The wind coming off the lake likely helped get the flames going, the chief said.

Lake Minnetonka house fire still smoldering more than 12 hours later
A fire at a house under construction along Lake Minnetonka was still smoldering Thursday morning--more than 12 hours after it started.
