    Stay off the dam roof! There is absolutely no good reason to be up there. You vent the windows, put the fire out and then open the ceiling to look for extension.
    7:00 Where's the water guys? You should be cooling those third-floor gasses from the outside, so they don't flash. You can't do it from inside. The smoke is to hot and thick. It's way too dangerous and time consuming to do it from inside.
    25:00 TWENTY FIVE GUYS! How can that house still be burning? Putting water through the window while the visible fire is threatening the house next door. There's no way he has a line of sight on the burning area. For sure this house didn't belong to a firefighter.

    I’m curious as why the firemen had two tower trucks extended directly over the roofline and yet not one drop of water was being put on the fire! Of course I’m not a fireman and don’t know the rules of engagement but it pisses you off when there are flames shooting out of the roof 20 feet highand still no water. Somewhere in the city, some heads should fall and work on a better system than this one.

    • @jayconnors3397
      @jayconnors3397 Рік тому +2

      So its a safety issue - towers were first delivering personnel to neighboring roofs for fire protection of those structures. Additionally in between 9min0 10:30 area you hear the chief ask if that 3rd floor (top floor) is clear of personnel and its safe to open up the tower cannon. This is for personnel safety - with an internal defense going on those on the exterior of the building cant not see the firefighters in the structure. A burst of water from that tower actually rips apart the interior of the house an they dont want anyone injured by flying debris. Hope that helps...

    It’s not rocket science, but you need H2O to knock down fires. If you hit it hard initially you might need less water, but if you let it burn, there’s plenty of rehab work.
