In this episode, Mickey talks roof operations—legacy buildings versus modern construction, and why common sense still matters on the fireground.
Inspection cuts aren’t there to tell you what kind of building you’re on or what your next move should be. That work should already be done through size-up, district knowledge, and experience.
Once the saw starts, the decision is already made. The roof isn’t a place to hesitate or figure things out in real time. Inspection cuts are for confirming fire extension and fire travel, not for determining steps that should already be understood.
If you’re using the saw to learn the building, you’re already behind the tempo of the fire.
Know the building before you get there and you’re already in position to make a positive impact.
