A fire is reported at an apartment building in the older section of town. While first-alarm units are responding, the dispatcher contacts them and states, "We are getting numerous calls reporting fire at the location."
You arrive at a fire on the top floor of a building and the incident commander (IC) tells your company to get the roof or, as in some departments like the Fire Department of New York, you are assigned to the roof position.
Preplanning pays off! Every department, every firehouse, and every company has one: a building that you dread hearing the tone drop for, the address that scares you and all of the members of your unit.
