Comment by Mike Schlags (Captain Busy) Retd on March 3, 2011 at 12:37pm: I found the video and tactics employed by the Charleston FD to be exemplary. Surround and drown was an appropriate tactic considering there was no life loss potential and the building was already a complete loss. Everyone went home and the insurance companies can handle what's left. No structure fire is worth dying for.
