So what is the correct ventilation tactic for a fire on the ground floor extending to an occupied second floor?

Do you open the apparatus doors if they're still operable?

Not unless you have a good amount of water on the fire. That big of an opening is gonna give a lot of air to that fire if you don’t.

When will they equip fire houses and EMS stations with automatic sprinkler systems ?

Not sure how much fire but definitely an explosion with injuries at E294/L143 Jamaica Ave in 1974

These burned while occupied - vacant stations burned before demolition not included.

Didn't 84/34 have one, maybe two kitchen jobs? about 50+ years ago?
E94 had the gasoline pump ignite while fueling the engine. Took out the 2nd floor and the 3rd floor locker room. Commissioner tried to blame the ECC for smoking while fueling; Al J. never smoked a day in his life.
