This really isn't that bad of a fire guys. In my opinion people are being waaaaay too conservative about what they're seeing here. This is very much a 1.75" crosslay into the front door to start getting water on it, pull ceiling because there's fire in the attic, and cut a vent hole on the roof to make interior conditions better. The house is small, it's like 1500sqft at most and that's being very generous. No need to be so conservative on this one, something like this should be the bread and butter
