A trench cut is a firefighting tactic that involves cutting a long, narrow vent hole in a roof from one outside wall to the other to help vent heat and fire. The trench cut is often made at least 20 feet from the main vent hole and in a pinch point or "throat" area of the building to make the cut faster. Here are some approaches to making a trench cut:
