@JoshyBallz4 still smoking, still causing fires, regardless of what is being smoked. why i refuse to smoke anything INSIDE my home.

[yamahonkawazuki]

@MonstaCookie13 and cigarettes too. also kerosene heaters, and poorly maintained equipment, among other items.

[07honda]

is the idea not to put the fire out? they sit and watch it WTF is going on?

@ff903 Point taken on the first floor windows. It's good the fire vented itself; now you know where it is. One handline up the stairs into the second floor knocks that fire in 15 seconds flat. Then work on the attic. Tough, but very doable. And it's a crime that it wasn't done. Exterior attack=failure.

@xxbenjamin32xx but my thoughts are why are they venting the first floor windows were there is no fire near them when the fire is on the second floor blowing out of multiple windows and possibly the roof......at that point the IC should have pulled them out and went to an extiorior attack thats my point
