very true that all fires are different. But from what i heard over the radio and what i saw from the outside it did seem like it took them to long.

@rsizemore12 im not going to call you a dick, but all fires are different and unless you were at the scene of the fire, INSIDE the house, then maybe you could fairly say they did a bad job

dont start cussing at me and telling me how big of a dick i am but in my opinion this was a poor job of firefighting, it shouldnt have taken them that long to knock this fire down. get in knock it down and get it out. Im also not trying to brag on my own department but in all reality we would have had the fire knocked in half the time it took these guys

Why would it be 5 alarms? It is a small attic fire. It seems over the radio, that it is a 2 alarm cause there are some apparatus on standby but it looks like a one.

They go in if it is necessary. If they can save it, they go in. If it is fully involved, they just surround and drown, which is spraying it from the outside. It also depends if someone is in the house.

@anthonym267 If a dwelling isnt to "fully involved" an interior attack is preferred, if it's just not safe for the FF's then a suround and drown is done
