Humpday Hangout 5-13-2020 - Attic and Cockloft Fires

In this week’s Humpday Hangout, join Mike Dugan, Bill Gustin, and the group as with previous topics, they will begin by relating their most memorable attic/cockloft fire.  They know you have all experienced it:  How much fire you can have burning overhead in an attic  and not know it.  We have to wonder,  is there has to be a better way to fight attic fires?  Special guest: Dave Walsh, FDIC AV Squad. He and his students at Dutchess Community College have performed tests on legacy/Stick built roof assemblies constructed with rafters of dimensional lumber vs. modern, light weight trusses.  Additionally, his tests on insulation are very impressive.
