I don’t think the fire is in the attic…yet. The lazy smoke pushing out of the eaves is the clue. If the attic were involved the eaves would be air intakes. Instead the cooler smoke is making its way out the easy path of the eaves .

The smoke is not blowing out the ends so this is an interior aggressive attack.

I think it's definitely in the attic.
