Vacant Three Story Brick-You Make the Call

You're on the first due Engine Company consisting of a four staffed crew. You arrive and find a three (3) story Brick ( Brick and Joist Construction; Ordinary Construction/Type IV) with heavy fire. (Bldg size: 50 ft. x 200 ft.) There are no reports of anyone inside. It's a Saturday afternoon; no issues with weather, heat, wind, traffic, public, media etc. You're riding as the officer or acting officer....

You Make the Call;
What are the assignments of the four crew?
What are the safety considerations for operations around the building?
What do you need for resources?
What are you going to Do?
