Similar to the "Direct Attack in a Hallway" evolution, in that any unvented space may be dangerous if not attacked properly.  Here, the ease of extinguishing a well-involved garage is demonstrated utilizing a direct attack.  Notice that in this evolution a smooth bore nozzle discharging 185 gpm is used.  The same effect is can be achieved utilizing a fog nozzle of similar flow set on a straight stream pattern.  In this evolution, the fire is knocked down with less than 15 gallons of water.
