Wow, big words from an armchair quarterback. You were obviously not there to know what we were doing.

@codypa911 This fire was quite clearly a defensive only fire for the building involved. It housed compressed gas. What do you want, the FF's to make an offensive interior attack on that building. You can hear the tanks blowing. You obviously do not understand FF tactics. There would be nothing to gain for such a high risk tactic and so very much to lose if you did. Also you cannot see what is happening on the other 3 sides of the building.

Wow. Volleys cared more about the camera placement than defensive ops..guess you dont have to worry about water supply when you let the building burn to the ground....
