Is the fire going well inside the building, or is it confined to one floor or one room....? If still contained within an area, surely attack using Compartment Fire fighting techniques would be better. I don't think the new owners would be too impressed that their new acquisition has
$200,000 fire damage, and $300,000 smoke & water damage.....
While not that familiar with the fire fighting resources based at Mt Lofty House, I would imagine that it has a large water, storage tank somewhere....it may even have an internal sprinkler system, or hydrant system.......can anyone clarify if that is the case, or otherwise....?
And remember - the state's firefighting resources do not end at Mt Lofty Group..
