Burning down the house!

Today started off like so many Friday’s before, then en route to my office I was irritated to find myself being diverted off my normal drive only to discover a student house engulfed in flames.  I was able to grab my camera and and grab a few shots.  No one was reported injured in the fire, all people (plus pets) were accounted for.  I arrived on the scene about 9:20am or so, just after the fire trucks had arrived, it did not take long, maybe an hour or so before there was only a smoldering frame left of the house.

    The black & white photos of the fire fighters are amazing Sean. Truly awe-inspiring.

    Thanks Sarah! It sure made for a strange Friday morning that is for sure, it was pretty cool of the fire department to let me as close to the action as they did so I could grab a few shots.
