I have looked at the pictures taken from this fire. I am wondering why the incident commander or the safety officer ( if you even had one ) would allow the firefighter on the roof to be cutting a hole without the protection of being on a roof ladder. We preach safety first, but only when we want to. Folks, we killed over a 100 brothers and sisters a year! Why take the risks, follow the rules of safety and do the right thing!
