At a fire a couple of days ago we went into a "defensive strategy". The decision to operate in a defensive strategy indicates that the offensive attack strategy, or the potential for one, has been abandoned for reasons of personnel safety, and the involved structure has been conceded as lost. Master streams are generally the most effective tactic to be employed in defensive operations. For tactical purposes, a standard master stream flow of at least 750 gallons per minute is typically used. #firefighter #picoftheday #firefighters #fire #firecrews #firefightersafety #housefire #1stalarm #laddertrucks #masterstream #water #waterstreams #masterstreams #aerial #aerialladder #deckgun #mesa #arizona mesaazgov umff2260
