@Zugvogel1 I know how it works as my dad was a firefighter. Anyways you are right saftey first but really the fire trucks need to stay close to the fire.

@sparrow5469

Call more Fire Trucks with miore Hose...

Here the Firetruck even in the smallest Villgae have much Firehoses onboard..When we have not enouigh we can easy call the Next Firestation.The Villages here are often less than 3 Miles Away.When we have here a Fire like this ,they Call if needed most Firestation in the municipality.If then need more we have 5 Alarm Unit where the Firetruck comes from the Whiole County.(Example Forst Fires).But 1 is most Important : Safty First.

@Zugvogel1 the fire trucks need to be near the building no matter what, or would you just rather have the fire trucks stay far away and not have the hoses reach the fire? If that was the case more than just Alma would've burnt down.

on that day my family and me went to see what's left after the fire and there was a little smoke left and no lights flashing but still there was a fire truck(as far as I can remember)

Was this arson or a controled burn? By comments I take it was arson?

[Zugvogel1]

The Firetruck is too neat at the Building.What when suddenly the Main Wall Collapse to the outside ?
