You are truly showing your ignorance here by continuing to try and defend an indefensible position. Anyone who has taken the most basic FF training, has ever read any article on firefighting tactics or NIOSH LODD reports, or attended any firefighting seminar, knows that one of the first things an IC should do upon arrival is a complete 360 of the fire building. You need to follow 1911's lead, re-read the narrative again, and admit that you made a mistake and move on.
