: don, this is a great idea, i think its important to study pictures to learn what mistakes
: someone else might have made. i hope this idea catches on
1) Good ladder Co. Positioning. Engines not taking front of bldg. unnecessarily.
2) Roofman should take exposure 2 to roof, freeing aerials for front VES.
3) Exposure 4 looks like it's not as high as fire building. Be careful not to walk off side of building.
4) Looks like 6 apts in this bldg.Don't forget to search store (even at night)
5) If OVM has difficulty getting to rear he can enter fire building and make his way to the apt below fire and make his way to rear fire escape and then up to fire apt.
6) Be careful of auto exposure into adjacent windows, particularly during warm weather where windows will be found open.
7) Roof man must examine all shafts and give reports. Fire in the shaft is bad news particularly in smaller buildings.
8) Remember to properly vent windows by fully removing sashes before commencing VES. Notify your officer before venting windows.
