Description


Insanity... we live on a lot with a house behind us, only a few feet away from our home. Someone, I don't know who? Came to our screen door and yelled in "Hey, Hello? Your neighbor's house is on fire and it looks like it's coming your way!!!!" I was like "what neighbor?". "Behind you" she said. "thank you!" Ran out the back door and saw the orange glow of flames and smelled the smoke... Told my wife to call 911 and then grabbed my hose and started dowsing the roof and yard of the back house all I could. I took a 15 sec break to get a couple shots of the madness then went back to soaking everything I could. My main thought was... "I don't want to lose everything we have".... If those trees would have caught fire it would have been a different story altogether. LBFD RULES!

May the gods bless our public servants...they do so much and get so little in return. On another note, I could almost believe this is an autumn sunset or sunrise, the way you shot it.

This sounds very dramatic. How lucky that the fire did not reach the trees. A stunning shot.

From the thumbnail & title, I though this was going to be a fiery sunset shot. Glad you're safe - we still have smoke from the wild fires that have burning for weeks now. Oh, & of course the photo is beautiful...

Impressive! Thanks to God that you, your family and your home are well. Hope your neighbor is unharmed. You have nerves of steel, taking pictures at a time when you were in danger.
