Only seeing a small portion of the fire, it appeared to be a good fire for an piercing nozzle, which can be done from the aerial ladder. I noticed the siding was melted on the A/B corner, was this a second floor fire and verticle ventilation raised the gas lay? It appears to be an attic fire from where the video starts.

Being structural collapse a major issue, Is it adviceable to put crews on the roof for ventilation and inside for a interior attack? . With the TL working the fire from outside ,isnt it dangerous for the crews to be inside due to the risks posed by the effects of the stream in the smoke and termal balance inside the structure?. Where antiventilation a valid tactic in this scenario or the possibility of unplanned ventilation by window failure or roof collapse made it unviable? A few questions here….
