Asked by Goose about 5 years ago

Yes

For fires that are in buildings taller than 4 stories, how do you fight these fires? What techniques do you use and how reliable do you think they are? Would a remote controlled flying fire extinguisher that can break through windows help?

Asked by Justin over 5 years ago

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.
