    I give him credit for trying to put out the fire with the weak pressure water hose.

    At least he is doing more than all those Lawn Statues the department brought. All those ladders in front and no water.
  • I see an OPENING in front OF HIM TO HIS LEFT and FLAMES TO HIS FAR Left so possible for HIM to walk tru opening on his left and IF HOSE CAN REACH SPRAY THOSE FAR LEFT ROOF FLAMES????
  • Honestly, even though it looks heroic, firefighters hate this kind of thing because now they have to worry about some random guy right there by the fire. The fire department has a plan and sometimes spraying a garden hose isn't part of their strategic plan. Trust me on this one!
