When the exposure is more of a life threat than the original fire is. You never specified what the exposure is.

Good Point. When the exposure is another like building.

Well in that case, I would personally put water on the exposure instead of the fire building if the fire building is a complete loss and the exposure is capable of being saved with minimal damage. It doesnt hurt to cool the exposure down first then direct your attack on the fire building. We all know staffing is lacking everywhere and not knowing when your 2nd due is coming or how much manpower your going to get, so multitasking is very key.
