A Word About Fire Department Operations
Why are windows broken and/or holes cut in the roof? As fire burns, it moves upward then outward. Breaking windows and/or cutting holes in the roof (called ventilation) stops that damaging outward movement and enables firefighters to fight the fire more efficiently, resulting in less damage to the structure in the long run. Why are holes cut in walls? This is done so the Fire Department is absolutely sure that the fire is completely out, and that there is no fire inside the walls or other hidden places. Is it possible to obtain a copy of the fire report? In El Paso a fire incident report is a public document and is available at Fire Department Administrative Offices at 8600 Montana Ave. Phone 771-1000 You will need the Date of the fire, the Address of the fire, and the Incident Number.
