Based off of the comments like "its about to get bad" and "put the stick up" I'm starting to understand where all the horrible examples of firefighting on youtube are coming from. My God, there's a fire in the attic of a maybe 1400 sqft house. Go inside and put that bitch out. Pull some ceiling, get your ass above the rafters and do your job. Baring any crazy, not pictured issues, this should be a 1, maybe 2 line job.
