Fire attack by members of the DFD is hampered by Vacant Property
Security (VPS) hardware, an increasing problem with secured vacant
buildings. “Fireground Strategies: Metal Window Enclosures” by
Chief Anthony Avillo, is an excellent article addressing VPS
hardware and is published in the Jan-Feb 2008 issue of Fire Nuggets
and found in the Archives. (Sign
