Main Street Firefighting: Josh Burchick x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

In honor of International Firefighter’s Day here is my all time favorite quote on firefighting…

Flat roofs aren’t flat. Use the parapet & stars if available to help you gauge where the roofline actually lies.

Fire will run faster up an incline plane. Fire in the cockloft is going to want to move faster from the rear to front. Useful to predict fire spread & where to cut.

The sheer size of your Main Street buildings will change how you approach RIT at these #fires .

When evaluating your performance at a fire better questions to ask are: What did I know before (the event)?
What was revealed after?
Could I have known that before?

If the answer is no, then much of what occurred is luck. If the answer is yes, then you have a learning point.
