Kudos to them, it looks like the fire eventually went out. 

 

Their uncoordinated approach to ventilate every possible pane of glass on the second floor was very helpful in allowing the fire in the attic to eventually enjoy sufficient oxygen that allowed for the overly abundant display of air horns. 

 

Just imagine what an interior line on the second floor with a few experienced jakes that brought some hooks to open up and apply water from below could have done?

 

Thank you for your service!

Maybe there were no interior stairs, leaving them no choice but to extend a ground ladder with a new technique and put a stream from a Hand line through a attack window?

No interior stairs? Really? Is that the best you can come up with?

 

You did notice the members that were seen in the video walking inside on the second floor with hand lights (at the same time that someone was arbitrarily taking out a window from a ladder).

 

Looked good for Mommy or your Istantgram profile pic, could have just as easily been opened up by hand from the guy standing inside.

 

The attic space on a house like this is relatively small. Fires in attics such as this work best when water actually comes in contact with the fire.

 

Given that the roof is designed to shed water, a couple of holes from below and some application of water and we can save the numerous tones, air horn extravaganza, and epic battle poses for a fire that may actually be deserving of such.

 

The more videos like this that appear, I really wonder if the fire service of today is about production for social media or about effectiveness of tactics and extinguishment.

 

Flame on.

I guess I wasn't sarcastic enough.
