Because they had to use a hose line on the roof, gravity is going to take over with the water, and water is in the building just a little bit, it sounds like, and we have crews inside protecting the items with salvage tarps,” Salt Lake Fire Capt. Karl Steadman said.
Dude! Srsly? Who could have possibly imagined such strange circumstances where water somehow actually gets up on the roof of a building?
If they had any reasonable idea that this might have ever had a chance of happening, they could have applied, oh, I don't know, some sort of water-proofing material up there.
Once in a lifetime fluke, I tell ya.
