First, we would like to answer some questions you might have about our fire operations and procedures. 1. Was it really necessary to break the windows and put holes in the roof? As a fire burns, it moves upward, then outward. Removing windows and cutting holes in the roof, ventilation in firefighting terms, stops that damaging outward movement of smoke and heat and enables us to locate potential victims, and fight the fire more efficiently, resulting in less damage in the long run. This procedure also reduces the risk of serious injury to firefighters. 2. Why did the firefighters put holes in the walls and ceiling? They had to be absolutely sure there was no "hidden" fire inside the walls, ceilings and partitions	Fire Safety Electrical Fire Safety Wildfire Upcoming Events No events planned.     Weather Tracking Click to add your phone number.
