I'm sure that is the case. They switched to a defensive posture, protecting the homes that I'm sure are close to the burning home. We call this protecting the exposures. No fire dept I've ever seen would have just stood around. A fire scene sometimes looks chaotic but is really quite organized if you know their S.O.P.

For the record, I was in no way criticizing their efforts or methods.
