Good use of the resources you have! I'm guessing they must've done that previously since they knew who had one and where to call it from.

Not a lot of windows in a store like that. It's probably difficult to cut the roof like that as well.

Not really, those roofs nothing but sheet-metal and foam, very easy to cut with a K-Saw. The problem is that's going to create a good bit of damage to be repaired. Using a large fan (in this case the boat) is probably just as effective and causes a lot less damage.

As I recall, some Chief in Houston stumbled on this tactic during a fire in large open shopping center in the 70's. It was liked so well that the shops built one on a trailer. It's radio ID was "Big Blow".
