How many of these do you have in your response area?
No doubt that we all have a building like this in our jurisdiction, if not several.
In many cases these buildings have been several different kinds of business and altered some fashion or another.
These are not simple fires, especially if there are part of a main street block or strip mall type of set up.
We can see some pretty thick smoke from the attic vent on the front. I see a fan set up and can’t tell if it is running, but at this point in the fire, should it be?
- What are some challenges we could encounter at this building especially with the roof?
- What kind of construction are we dealing with?
- Is the line size and placement appropriate?
