Just got the link this morning and was going to post it. Good heads up 1900!
Everyone should watch this video. I know many of us preach the dangers of lightweight truss and composite building materials but it can never hurt to talk about it again.
Share this video, especially with your newer firefighters and help them live to see another day.
Stay safe.

Excellent training resource, Chief...thanks for getting it out there. In the universe of Really Bad Things That Can F Up Our Days, engineered wood I beams or TGI's are right up there in the top ten. While most of us can correctly guess whether a roof structure MIGHT be truss constructed by it's appearance and/or vintage, TGI's lurk out of sight and are often used in renovations to older homes. Worse yet, they provide little to no warning that they are about to catastrophically collapse.
