Crews had to run more than 2,000 feet of hose from a hydrant to the rural residence because it is on a private lane, off the main road.
A relay pumping system, using three engines to get water to the single-family structure, had to be set up because of the home's distance from the road, Pavlak said.
All of the residents were safely out of the home when crews arrived, he said, and there were no injuries. Crews were dispatched after a 911 call came in at about 8:11 p.m.
The family is being asked to stay elsewhere for the night, he said.
Pavlak did not place a dollar estimate on the damage.
His crews were assisted by Bellbrook and Washington Twp. fire departments.
