Tactical Fire problem – Large Factory, Industrial Roof Fire

A large factory/industrial building with heavy smoke showing from the roof is the Tactical Fire Problem for this week. Take a look.

1.) Even if you do not have this building, you may have larger buildings that might be beyond the capability of your department. Is this an internal fire in the building through the roof, or is it a roof fire?

2.) How many stories is this building? What is the impact of the blocked or enclosed windows?

3.) Why would an industrial building this size have all of the windows blocked anyway?

4.) What impact woud the cars parked at the cub have, (if any)?

5.) What is your plan for getting a size up of the roof? What is your plan for getting a line up there?

Stay Safe, and stay thinking?
