Collapse Series: Peaked Roof Collapse DVD
Fire EngineeringThe peaked roof is the most common and dangerous for firefighters. Part 2: Peaked Roof Collapse features analysis and case studies of types of peaked roofs, as well as the construction and types of collapses that can occur. It also covers fire hazard protection, hazard avoidance, roof slope and pitch, and the safety procedures necessary for working on or around peaked roof structures.
