These a bunch of missing info here and situation that we might not fully see in the video. But…
Masking up, throwing ladders, and pulling lines should be so basic to use that they require the same amount of thinking that walking does. That way when you walk up to a “ holy shit” amount of fire and need to make a rescue you can see and hear the conscious victim at the window.
Also don’t forget to record your rescues, not sure this one counts
I wouldn't necessarily say lazy. Maybe a classic case of there being more to the story than what the video shows.
A few other posts have included more information, such as that this guy had already made two solo grabs and couldn't get this lady up and out of the window (likely from being drained from the previous grabs), so he was masking up to go in lift her out of the window from the inside when bystander guy rolled up.
