This video clip also shows the importance for the IC, Fire Attack and Ventilation to have that "Traingle of Information so that making the decision to go offensive is understood and agreed upon by all on the fire ground that are collecting the necessary information on fire behavior, structural integrity, and the amount of time that we have been operating on the fire ground and are all 3 matching up with each other

Vacant houses are worse because you don't know, and have no way to actually verify, if occupants are inside, ( depending on the involvement) unless you can get a complete 360 assessment. So, saying that, I feel that a certain risk should be made...again, depending on how well a 360 can be made.

I love the way he said "Well Involved", like he was shocked to see that amount of fire on arrival. Balloon Frames are dangerous. We have a lot of them where I volunteer on Long Island. Vacant houses aren't worth risking us. There's that word again...RISK vs benefit
