The YouTube videos on this page from Nemmy25 show the progression of a fire on Saturday in the 2200 block of S. Muskego Avenue in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Unfortunately the progress was not the type firefighters like to see. Looking at the dry supply lines in the video and the effort to stretch new ones it became clear water was an issue. A story from WITI-TV confirms frozen hydrants were a problem (click here to watch the news report):

According to fire officials at the scene, the fire started in the third floor attic area of the building. When the Milwaukee Fire Department arrived on scene, the first three hydrants they tried to use were frozen.

Firefighters managed to get the fourth hydrant, two blocks away, to work, but that allowed  the fire to spread to the second and first floors of the building.
