Water supply.
I do not know for sure, But I think the closest "real" dry hydrant is at the bridge on the neck road. probably a mile away from the house. A small portable pump at the scene isn't going to supply the GPM needed to do an agressive interior attack.
Another issue with living in the woods, Trim the trees and limbs. Just because it is a driveway and you can drive your car in just fine,doesn't mean a Fire Truck can get to your home. Call your FD and they will come out and tell you if they can get an engine to your home.
Sad story and heating season has started.
