1.) It is always a great size up feature when the age of the building is right on the front! Lets look at the height of the building above the second story window tops. What does that indicate?
2.) What types of problems do the two vehicles create for the stretch? What is your pre-connect length and how will that be affected by pulling up "on the curb"?
3.) Fire showing floor 1 on the A/B corner and the storefront window has blown. Based upon previous fire history and study, with a load of modern furnishings and this increase in air at a low level, how much time do you have to make a stretch with a big line?
4.) Conditions on floor 2 are relatively clear but it looks like the cockloft is roaring. How big is your crew, how much help do you have, and get you react and operate on the floor above, with a significant void space fire?
5.) Preplan any of these buildings that you might have in your area. Also this might be the time to remember the old adage " Go Big, or Go Home!"
