Those pictures were taken before the first due Chief arrived on the scene. Once he arrived the announcement was made for a defensive mode. Used several lines from the outside to knock the bulk of the fire then used the Tower Ladder and small lines to mop up.
I can tell you from being on the scene that if I was riding the first in Engine I would have wagon piped it from the start. Not that the outcome would have been any different because everyone got out prior to FD arrival and it was a total loss prior to us getting there.
