Firefighters from several townships battle a stubborn blaze Thursday, Jan. 3, 2008, at a farmhouse south of Elkhart, Indiana. The balloon framing in the old home allowed the fire to spread quickly from the basement to the attic, keeping firefighters on the scene for hours before the blaze was brought under control. The house was a total loss. (AP Photo/South Bend Tribune, Jim Rider) Jim Rider
