LA County Fire would not allow this video to be reposted on other sites but it is a fantastic 3 part series. Search: “15 watch outs: roof ops” and you will find these and more great videos from LA.

Pitched Roof Ventilation - The pitch makes cutting toward you more necessary. If you don’t feel good with that, try placing the Halligan a bit further away from the ladder for better range and balance.

7 9 8 Roof Cut - Don’t over think the cut. Some people remember the 7 9 8, others the 7 L or you can just cut two squares and make a rectangle. KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID
