37 N. Wycombe Ave, 2 Alarms -

Companies encountered extremely heavy fire conditions on arrival. The first in crew was chased out once on their initial entry when the wind caught the fire and blew it back at them and out the front door. Crews worked hard for more than 2 hrs on an interior attack to bring the blaze under control. The house was a very large 3-1/2 story twin of ballon frame construction.

    Great composition and a great catch. You almost couldn't stage this if you wanted to. Firefighter in the foreground silhouetted by the fire showing the immense power of fire vs. one person, two aerials raised to "fight the beast" and the subtlety of the American Flag to the left of the firefighter emphasizing service to community and country. Wow!
    (Or maybe,you just thought it was a cool picture. However, based on the composition of many of the other pictures I believe you saw many of the elements in this scene, or went searching for them, before you took the picture. Nicely done.)

    I'll be honest and tell you I wasn't looking at the flag at the time, but yes I did compose the silhouette and the 2 ladders into the picture. Silhouettes are one of my fav's....Feen
