Cladding fire, Mashhad, Iran

A 62m tall Aerial platform at work during a massive multi alarm fire. This building was an 88 meter tall shopping center , more than 270 firefighters battled the fire, in which no death were reported.

This photo is taken at the very beginning of a very small fire that spread rapidly. despite using the aerial to its full capacity, it's visible the impact is insignificant. Looks like size does matter with this one.

I think this picture does showcase that even if an aerial can reach fires like that of Grenfell, in order for it to be effective:

1) You need and army of aerials, and all have to be at the scene as early as possible.

2) The water pressure has to be massive for it to reach the blaze, let alone putting it out.
