Local house burning in my neighbourhood, I was one of the first people on the scene...hot and scary. Brought under control by the local volunteer fire brigade in Cambridge, New Zealand.

Well done, great job. And when one considers that 10min before the end of this video, these crews were likely at work, it shows how professional and dedicated volunteers in the NZFS are. And yes, one can argue the risk of roof collapse and the apparent lack of a 360°, but remember this is, after all, a home belonging to a member of their own community, maybe even a neighbour. Once again, well done.

Nice work considering this was a Volunteer FD, they seemed to have a reasonable response time, and with what showed as just 3 guys and 2 handlines, their front interior entry did a nice job of knocking down and pushing this fire right out the back of the house. Was a little concerned about the tile roof starting to let go above them, but them were in and out in amazing time. Congrats to the Cambridge New Zealand VFD for a well placed attack, and making quick work of this fire with your interior attack.

JB91710: A large majority of the fire that will cause a roof collapse is not visible. The rafters and other structural elements of a roof are under the sheeting and roofing shingles so these are not being burnt by the visible burning material on the exterior. Burning material inside the attic space is not visible from the exterior. and you can squirt water onto the shingles and get nowhere because it just runs off.

Seriously, I'd find it hard to believe that that lean-to would collapse, I have been in really dodgy buildings on fire over the years.
