Not only are residents and businesses dealing with a lack of power and running water or hot water, but even the Fire Departments are having trouble responding to emergencies like home fires.

The home in the photo above is located in the 500 block of Church Street in Yorktown according to Crossroadstoday.com. The home is a total loss following the fire. Crews could not get the water pressure they needed on the scene, nor could they bring water to the scene fast enough to save the home.
