I was on my way home at 1:30am from shooting a wedding. I took the off-ramp and I noticed smoke coming from the business park on my right. Being a firefighter and just loving fire I raced off in the direction from where the smoke was coming.
The timing couldn't have been better if I had planned it! There I was with my camera, 3 really great lenses, and this fire which had just started. Only the local security guards were runnung around madly! The Next few photos are from that most awesome evening!
What I really appreciate about this photo is the glass melting in the frames. Particularly the top left and the center left rows.
Just before the front section of the warehouse collapsed.
As the corrugated iron structure started to collapse in onto itself, a joint in a water pipe gave way, resulting in a shower that saved one of three trucks parked in an ally just bellow where I was standing. The two other trucks melted and a fourth truck inside the warehouse was completely destroyed.
The intense heat was enough to make the corrugated iron warehouse glow.
To the rescue...
