@@corpsetime as someone with a degree in fire science. Vertical ventilation is important because heat rises and all the super hot gases and pyrrolic smoke will cause a flashover and the heat will stay inside and burn the house down. the ventilate properly, you MUST be above the main fire and heat source. otherwise, as you mentioned, you will just allow more air in and fuel the fire.

It is fascinating to see the different approaches in other countries. I'm a professional firefighter in Germany and we never ever cut holes in the roof. The buildings are constructed differently, we have almost no wooden houses and mostly ceramic roof tiles. I get the idea behind vertical ventilation, but IMHO it depends on the situation. In this case it worked great, but there are a lot of videos where it seems to be unnecessary, counterproductive and/or extremely dangerous.

The difference between t-shirt clowns and actual firemen.

Late to this party, but I have to say this could be used as a “how to do it right” training video. (Well, maybe the lack of sounding the roof was a little cavalier... 😏) Starting the saw before setting the second ladder is smart as it warms the engine while idling and the potential for problems is reduced. Vent holes cut, with inspection, then off the roof. All of this accomplished in 6 minutes from arrival! Textbook. Then inside for overhaul. The attack crews had serious fire to deal with and it was knocked during that same 6 minute period. What I see is a well led and well trained department. Everyone knows their job and performed it with prejudice. Great job!
