It's a tire shop or at least what was left after about 45 minutes of burning. And thank you.

Actually, that was foam used because water would have spattered flammable liquids around causing the fire to simply spread.

As for your picture... Don't change a thing! The colour is great, composition is wonderful and the emotion is captured perfectly.
Thank you Manila_Joe for the welcome! Also, thank you for your opinion. As with everyone else's thoughts, they are appreciated.

Now if only I could get rid of these feelings of starting a fire just so I could take pictures of firefighters at work.
LOL... That was a running joke among my friends... How I must've been aching so badly to try out my new camera that I 'created' the opportunity. But really, just a matter of right place, right time. One thing I really like about the Canon S3 over my SLR is the strong zoom factor without shelling out big bucks for the glass that would have been required to get that shot. I was about 60 metres (approx 75 yards) away from the action.
