Outstanding truck work. Vertical vent is a game changer.

Great roof work as old school roof work goes. The big question is, what was accomplished? Did opening the roof assist in extinguishment of the fire? As you could see from the fire behavior , the fire moved from ventilation limited to a veritable blowtorch. The fire “self vented” creating a dramatically hotter and faster fire. The fire was extinguished by the brothers getting under the roof and placing water in the attic space on the fire itself. Modern fire science shows that while there can be some instances where roof ventilation can be advantageous, this wasn’t one of them. We have to learn what the science and building construction tells us and stop risking lives on residential roofs that will collapse with nearly no warning. Constantly sounding the roof is good in theory, but what we have learned about modern construction in lightweight frames is that the moment the roof or floor feels spongy is the moment it will collapse. Because we have all gotten away with these roof practices for so long ( myself included) we have normalized deviant behavior that has killed brothers and will continue to do so if we don’t learn.

You must take a lot of classes. All talk no walk. Go work on an engine somewhere that has real truck work and you’ll understand why it’s valuable…

@@dillydilly7722 your youth and inexperience show in your answer. Pay attention to the science. Find a NIST UL boot camp class and sign up. You will then hear directly from instructors from FDNY, Chicago, Boston, LA and many others. I have spent over three decades crawling hallways and popping roofs in some of the busiest stations on the east coast and have learned that in the end you can look back and see if you have repeated a years worth of knowledge for 30 or 40 years or you can learn something from trainings and classes your entire career and advance yourself and your professionalism. To look down your nose at training and classes shows you to be headed in the direction of the former. Don’t make that mistake.
