This looks like a water supply problem. Its funny how so many people want to get expensive houses out in the middle of no where without sprinkerling there houses. Sad to watch, I've been there on a hoseline waiting for the next tanker to get there so we could do our job.

howd this happen ?

[Norfolkscot]

The tower was nowhere near high enough. The result was they were watering the lawn. However all they could do was wait for the roof to collapse as the fire seemed to be at the highest points inside the building, and roofs are after all meant to keep out water..

Why not take the tower and stick it right in the hot spot? What about crews attacking from the inside out?

[toxcicity93]

@tennis1984 first off its called an aerial fire truck. the reason they dont fight directly over is in case of flash overs. which is when the entire structure becomes engulfed in flames and no amount of water can b used to save the structure. the reason they prolly dont have crews inside is because their chief made the call that the structure is to week and could collapse. fire fighters take calculated risks to save structures. after all we r talking about risking lives here.

its almost impossible to start a fire with anything but a stove. all homes ought to get the updated versions of stoves

@lilsweeti13 How do you figure starting a fire is impossible without a stove? All you need is heat, fuel and oxygen.

[lilsweeti13]

@SpprtAssoc man all i'm saying is just put out the fire. have you ever watched a movie where youre like No dude don't drink battery acid.. yeah
