Firefighters direct a hand line into the front of the carpet store after companies were pulled out of the building. Behind them, the foam transmission system can be seen as high-expansion foam is being directed into the structure. Tim Olk photo A shot of sector 1 after the fire broke through the roof shows several hand lines in use, along with elevated master streams from Squad 1 and Tower Ladder 21. Tim Olk photo Firefighters work to position the baskets in order to find a spot for maximum impact with their master streams. Before they can resume water flow, they use hand tools to gain access behind the mansard facia. Tim Olk photo Foam unit 6-3-1 is positioned at the front door to allow for foam application. Water is mixed with foam concentrate, and fans blow the mixture through a large tube into the building to extinguish the basement fire. The foam is light and some of it blows out onto the street. Tim Olk photo This image highlights the foam delivery process and the noticeable overflow that occurs during such an operation. The 4-foot diameter tubing allows the department to send a large volume of foam into the building. Tim Olk photo Another view from sector 1 shows Squad 1 directing their master stream through the mansard facia into a hole created when the large sign fell. The elevated position and proximity of the firefighter in the bucket provide greater accuracy than hand lines or ground-level streams. Tim Olk photo
