Remember risk vs reward when you are fighting fires in vacant or abandoned buildings. Usually vacant or abandoned buildings have no people in them and therefore it may not be a good reason to enter the building as you would be risking your life for little to no reason. Vacant and abandoned buildings are often structurally unstable and therefore prone to collapse and have many additional structural hazards such as holes in floors where you could fall through along with unstable floors, unstable walls, falling debris, and unstable roofs that could collapse at any time. Therefore especially if the vacant or abandoned building is fully involved in fire then do not enter the building and if any firefighters are somehow inside immediately order them to evacuate or ask the safety officer or other emergency officer to help you do so. Instead always do a defensive operation and move to a safe place as far as possible from the collapse and the collapse zone and then continue to putting out the fire. Remember the old firefighter saying firefighters will risk their lives to help evacuate everyone out, firefighters will risk a little to prevent from the fires, and firefighters will risk nothing to save lives or property that have already been lost. If a vacant or abandoned building is fully engulfed in flames then there is probably little to no chance to save the building or any people who are inside it.
