What would you do at this point?
There is a lot already taking place here. A hose crew is at the door or inside. A guy is taking out a window or something to that effect on the D side. And someone is on a ladder.
There is some nasty smoke pushing out of this structure. It definitely is under pressure.
Time is running out for keeping this in check and an interior attack. We’ve all been here and we know how this can go.
At this point in the fire, what ventilation tactic would you use and why?
If you need to, redirect these crews and put them where you think they will make the most progress and explain your actions.
Share with your crew and post your discussion points. We always get great feedback and we know you have some goo ideas, so, let’s hear them.
Stay safe and be careful. Get yourself healthy and stay healthy.

Great picture Jason! This can and will be used for everything from size up, to the all important, but often forgotten, BACK TO BASICS!
Be Safe
I would pull everyone out, if not already, get a “Par” count & get to the roof for horizional ventilation & go defensive. looks like you have fire coming from basement on right side of house, so you could have fire on all floors
