The Roof firefighter and LCC are on the roof towards the front of the building, operating a power saw. The unit responded without an OV firefighter due to medical leave earlier in the tour. After a partial collapse of the roof occurs, the IC orders all members out of the building and directs another Chief officer to conduct an Emergency Roll Call.
