you respond to a 1 story home fully involved. The chief orders you to put water on fire Bldg from the adjacent 4 story exposure building. You have enough hose to cover the 4th floor. Where do you attack from? 4th floor window or 2nd floor window?

Asked by Jj Watt over 7 years ago

I would anticipate attacking from the 2nd floor especially since it is only 1 story.
