Listening to the comms, and the astute attacking team, the fire used the interstitial spaces quite effectively. On a positive, top notch job by true professionals at the scene...

It will be interesting to see what if any affect a large loss fire has on the special provisions section of the proposed IBC adoption.

Is that the configuration? Do we know if it was 13? 13R? Looks like the classic roof burn-off; I wonder if draftstops were compromised, or even installed? Lots and LOTS of questions ...
