packs on the roof

FYI.... Charlie D is the Scarecrow...

I am sure you are correct on this. Back again under a new name.

Hey web team!

[nyckftbl]

not as quickly or efficently as a big hole in the peaked roof. Especially under fire conditions. Maybe once the fire is knocked down, but with superheated gasses and radiant heat pouring into the area nothing beats a hole.

I can guarantee a horizontal vent is MUCH quicker and nearly as efficient.

And "especially under fire conditions"? Why else are you cutting a hole?

good truckmen can open up a peaked roof very quickly. It happens in the North East all the time by guys that work on steep pitches everyday. Horizontal vent is good, but it can't clear out the area above the window too well.

There is no way you are going to argue horizontally venting a window or gable vent is slower than cutting a roof, are you?

I never said that, so lets not assume things. For a little extra time you can create a giant hole in the roof. For how well that hole ventilates the peaked roof, the extra time is worth it in many circumstances.

From the sounds of it, why do you guys vent any roofs? Sounds like to you its just a slow slow process.

Your first paragraph and second paragraph combined make for a funny read....but maybe I shouldnt assume you meant it to be that way.

Im not assuming anything, btw....you wrote that it was quicker to cut a hole.

Maybe your engine companies are just too slow?

Thank you. Sometimes it takes someone from the country to speak common sense. If it's a fire call, an air pack is always on, regardless of what I see or smell to confirm otherwise. What if you were to jump of the engine and find yourself in a hazardous environment?

Midwest.

Pitched and flat get vented here whether it is 100 degrees or -50.

Some guys where packs some don't depending on the job.

What is a saw by the way? Must be nice!!! Last truck company I worked on didn't even have one (doesn't say much for the city here but we all have our issues). Be great with the old school tools because they work. Get yourself an 8 pounder (axe, sledge, maul) and get comfortable with it.

Not everyone makes a hundred fires every day. Some of us watch Mythbusters marathons.
