Iroh would like to have a plan, but right now he was just reacting, to having seen the way the grandmother embraced her granddaughter, stopping her from ... something. And to the way the gentleman said "Perfect", and to the knowledge that there was something else down there, something he hadn't seen yet, though he'd heard its voice through the radio.
He'd much prefer to have a plan, not just an inchoate sense of urgency, but what he had, he was willing to share.
"Get down there!" he shouted back, just as his fires burned through, almost exactly synchronized, launching him into a controlled descent, as the roof fell several feet and hit a crumpled wall, tilted and then, instead of continuing, broke in two, leaving him not exactly where he expected but nevertheless able to clamber down through a tilted window into what remained of part of the house.
Light streaked in from above, creating a space of brightness and deep shadows. It took Iroh several seconds to be sure, but it was an empty space, with a large jagged crevice in the middle.
