We are designing a home that has a 16' wide pond immediately below the bedroom egress window. We wanted to know if FD can access this window in case of fire and if so, how will they do it. The window is 5' higher than the top of the adjacent ground.

The typical ladder is 24 ft so if my math is correct it could be used as a bridge to get to rhe window but you would jave to measure the distance out.

When u r fighting a fire inside a structure and u put it out to the best of ur knowledge. Do u leave the nozzle inside the bldg or back it out?? The reason I'm asking is I've always been told to leave it inside for ur primary,secondary, overhaul teams

Asked by Justin King over 6 years ago

If there is active fire hose stays with you. During an overhaul phase the nozzle is usually left in a easy to reach location if more water is needed. Depends on dept procedures on this practice.
