You don't put water from the outside on to teams that are working interior but you can put water on the fire from outside before the interior crews are set up and ready to go and if they had done this the fire would have been knocked down far quicker and would not spread as much. Simple stuff really.
The fire was caused by faulty electricity, my family had paperwork in safes on the second floor and know people who worked there.
Excellent video of the scene!

sprinklers arent designed to necessarily put out a fire.. they are designed to buy time and also help to get a stop on a fire.. if the fire started above the ceiling level its p[ossible the code in that area doesnt require heads above a drop ceiling and so the fire could get a decent run before the ceilings come down and activate sprinklers.. in a raging fire scene from outside to see that the fire was pretty well contained to one quadrant says that the sprinklers did their job and helped to slow the fire anbd buy time for the fire crews inside to mount an interior attack (a succesful one by the looks of it).

Sort of difficult to tell by the video. Heck, the best hose usage in the entire video was a guy using a booster line putting out hotspots in the flower bed. Most of the action took place inside the building via an interior attack. San Bernardino County Fire's website stated that they responded with "13 Engines, 4 Truck Companies, three Chief Officers, an Air/Light Unit, a Medic Squad & three Fire Investigators. Colton, Rialto, Loma Linda also assisted each with an Engine Company."
If you consider a commercial fire in a three story business structure... this is probably the most convenient location for a fire... the building is structurally sound, its isolated, the fires already vented itself, No exposures or proximity to other buildings an probably has a plug or two close by. Doesn't look like a 3 alarm turnout but its sufficient.
Looks like someone didn't like their lawyer .. 👀

It's pretty obvious that these guys are interior and setting up their fire attack. These guys in Berdoo know what their doing. Respectfully
Master streams from the street would have knocked most of that fire down quickly.

Can anybody explain why there are no jets or ladder trucks attacking the fire from the side it’s raging?? For sure here in the uk they would be pouring water from above and jets from the ground.

I'm an old fart, but I think they didn't position close to the heavily involved portion of the building because of the collapse potential. They entered the uninvolved part of the building and made an interior attack, into the wind, which is of course beyond their control. That looks like lightweight steel or "J-bar". Parellel chord teel trusses made from re-bar and steel channel. Trusses don't do well in fires. Nonody seems to know this crappy construction was the same thing used in the World Trade Center. There were all these nuts running around saying "jet fuel can't melt steel beams" like they knew something. Never read a book. There WERE NO steel beams, only the facade, It did pretty well though, all things considered. It was sticking way up after everything else was long gone. Good job San Bernardino and LA Co!

To Andrew Rackauskas, You fight the fire from the unburned side. The FD was making a good INTERIOR attack on the fire floor against the wind. Just because YOU dont see a bunch of FFs in the street moving around doesnt mean they are not bustin their asses and taking a severe beating inside trying to make a good stop .. which they did. If you watch the vid closely, you can see a few good fire streams shooting out the building as the Engine Companys make the sweeps hitting the fire with their hose line. They are without a doubt kicking the fires ass. This isnt a parade, its a working fire job. The FD boys did a great job here knocking down the fire and gaining quick control with all with a tremendous amount of fire and fighting against the wind. Yeah i can say this, been in the fire service all my life just about over 55 years, paid and volunteer and a past Fire Chief. How about your experience?

Hay diggernator, thanks for the question. The reason is, you have crews inside trying to advance lines into the involved area and add to that, against the wind. A ladder pipe or master stream from an engines deck gun would drive the fire down on the guys and really fry their asses. It was explained to me years ago when i was a young pup fire chief at 26, having a master stream directed down or at you while in a building is like ordering an artiliary barage on yourself. Not a good move. However, the position of the fire couldnt have been at a better place: top floor, corner of the building and a fire resistive building. No doubt there was a heavy fire load in those rooms/offices for that amount of heavy fire volume. Their was a stick to the roof corner of B/C, (ladder trucks aerial), in the opposite rear corner. Escape for the roof ops crew if thr roof becomes untennable. The guys did good. Id of made the same calls. Stay safe my brother!
