Admit it, rarely is there a 360 walk around done at fires. At least not the fires I have been to...both of them. ha.  Sure, a lot of times we are afforded the view of 3 or 4 sides just on the approach.

This was a vacant house fire with an occupied apartment building as an exposure. 1st due had fire thru the roof of the vacant upon arrival and started knocking with a handline and tank water as NO plug was available.
