Good point. Most of our acquired structure burns were in old timber dwellings. The fires in the masonry structure took longer to flashover (walls absorbed so much energy), & then was harder to control, because the energy stored in the walls was being radiated back into the gases.It works VERY well in a timber structure - provided that it is still a contents fire. These techniques are not suited to a well developed structure. Always have a larger line for backup.

This is very impressive. I'd like to see it in a wood-framed structure fire, which is all we face here. In my 55 or so building fires in 7 years, I've never once had a compartment fire in a masonry building.
