I was taught if you didn't have anything nice to say, don't say anything! Maybe with some tact we can have a decent discussion about proper defensive tactics without bashing. I'd note there are a lot of recent fires on the web where defensive ops were lacking.

Is that a steel roof? I know up north alot of the new construction they are using those types or roof. What kind of problems do you run into with them? Are they harder to vent? How do you vent them? When and if you do dose it make the roof less stable? From the pixs the fire can not vent itself due to the roof. It looks like it blowing out some kind of vent, and the back under it. Just trying to make this a learning post.
