On a top floor/cockloft fire like this, how far down the building will there be water damage? How long does it usually take to get everyone reestablished back in the building?

Question. I know there's probably more then 1 unit with a RM designation. So when we see RM request a RAC like in an earlier post, is that Resource Management(er) or the Rescue Medics?
Along the same lines I see RM listed with other specialized units like CTU for different emergencies. Is that a Rescue Medic designation or a Resource Manager?

In this case it is the Rac(rehab) manager

As of now there are 29 engines, 21 trucks and 14 BC's on scene.....to many special units and staff to mention or care about

40 years ago, the amount of units for this operation would be considered obscene :oops:
It seems that the old strategy and tactics that were written, improved upon and successfully implemented in the past are being suspended too early on in favor of going with T/Ls in an exterior operation. That was considered going to the Hail Mary play.

Between the water/mold & smoke damage most of the involved wing will be severely damaged. The problem is repairs usually get held up by the insurance companies until a cause is determined by both the FD and the insurance company's own investigators. Repairs could take a year or more.

Most likely all the way down roughly in a line from where the water is being applied. Besides the obvious of water pooling and running down stairwells, it'll find every chase, crack or hole and gravity does the rest.

Luckily it isnt considered obscene anymore and the proper resources can be used especially with how we have been treated by the last 3 administrations. Call everyone, fuck the city.
