If the pictures that flow into the offices of Fire Engineering are accurate, the next thing to change from lesson to routine operation is the position of the aerial device at structure fires. You can always find photographic evidence of a defensive aerial stream that is forced to operate on the side of the building they stopped at when the operation was offensive—that is the one with no openings in it, usually the B or D side. If the aerial stream is able to operate from ground level and you are now forced (without openings) to operate from above and down into the inferno, you have wasted a great deal of money.
