The body of fire appears to be towards the Bravo half of the house, while the occupants were reported near Delta side. Heavy smoke condition from the reported room, but occupants may be protected by a closed door (smoke only from top portion of window opening suggests it's both an intake and exhaust point). We're…

Long driveway….
First engine goes straight in. Second engine lays from the road, up the driveway. This gives me two engines at the scene. Third engine sets up a dump site at the end of the driveway. OR... If the hydrant is close enough, #3 can lay from the hydrant to the driveway and pump to #2.
