It was a pretty intense call, with the fire spreading quickly through the structure. The crews worked hard to contain it, and I’m glad to see they managed to get it under control. These photos give a good sense of the scene and the effort involved. A few more shots of the crew working on the roof and the water being pumped would have been great, but these are still solid captures. Definitely a reminder of how fast things can escalate in a fire situation.
