The danger of the fire is reduced, but then we have the scene danger that we have to address, as the firefighters have to move around on the slick surfaces. So we deal with a lot of different issues with these weather conditions. |
We just have to be ready to have a plan B in place, whether that means calling in additional water resources, where they transport water in to us, or finding other water sources such as other hydrants a longer distance away, that requires more manpower and more apparatus. |
We still attack the fire exactly the same way we do in normal weather conditions. We just plan ahead for this type of weather and what we're going to be faced with. |
