Yes, Boston routinely used the aerials on the Seagraves and Maxims to vent. They would push through a window and then up through the roof. The aluminum aerials ended that practice. The fire was in the Readville section of the city sometime around 1984.

I worked that call in A-4, with Richie Kendall. Responded all the way from BCH on the 3rd. That was a good job, but the building was hard for apparatus to reach due to a sloping, curved driveway. Believe it went to a 5th. We were there til shift change. Good 'ol days.
