Fire, 2009/07
Fire today about 5 houses up the street. It's always different when it's a neighbor rather than some time filler on the local news.
Yes, that is a chainsaw going on the roof. These guys don't
kid around! These two were taken a few moments after they arrived at the
scene. The smoke wasn't venting out yet.
With the backlighting, the camera hardly does justice to what we've seen and
smelled. Also, the bulk of the fire seems to have been on the South side of
the attic and second floor, so the North side we're looking at doesn't show
the flames. And yes, that house is for sale. I'm guessing it'll be a while
before the next visit...
That's a hero's pose if I ever saw one. :-)
By now, it's mostly out. I just liked the point of view here.
