How was a starving fire fed oxygen with no equipment standing by

I was a witness to what I believe was a fatal mistake by the early fire fighting team and chief to break down the window front and feed a "contained" fire, all the way in the back of the building, with adequate amount of oxygen to expand into an uncontrollable inferno.

I am neither an expert fire safety engineer nor associate with any interested party, but simple chemical engineering knowledge points to the fact that if you "know" you have an abundance of fuel (carbohydrates as wood, synthetic materials, foam, fabrics) that are in a closed environment, in order for them to burn they need an abundance of oxygen. The building was whistling trying to suck air from any hole, vent, seam, window and it was not enough. Before the big firefighting trucks with ladders and distant sprays came, the initial team decided it was a good idea to break down the WHOLE window front so the water can reach 100-150' back where the center was, with "hoses" from the pump trucks?
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?
Within seconds, not minutes, the fire sprint to the front of the building and flames erupted like huge red tongues on the front and burned 90% of the unburned store down. No wonder the roof was just sucked in and burned firefighters as they never had even enough time to get themselves away from it.
I took pictures for an hour, till my camera run out, not knowing that lives were lost, and was amazed that authorities are paid to put out fires when they seemed to me to be lacking the most basic fundamentals of fire contention.

It may be too late to bring those lives back, but someone needs to review the procedure and make sure same mistakes do not happen again!

And I do want to hear what the technical excuses were for breaking down the window front!
You can not "cool down" a chemical fire of 20000 sq.ft of FUEL with six hoses from the bottom! You need an umbrella of spray around the top of the building and to all sides to block the oxygen from the fuel.
