Wink Apartment Fire

I was on my way to a soccer game and this apartment was on fire about 150 yards away from where the kids were playing. I noticed that the firemen were just letting it burn. As you can see...there's not much they could have done. It took about 20-30 minutes for the fire to collapse 2 apartment buildings, 2 sheds, and a maintenance building. Let me know what you think!!

Constructive criticism if you'd like...

Never seen such a scene of destruction in such clarity. Awesome photograph.
Thanks for sharing.

As Brad says your in the wrong section but, if you were in the right section I would have said that taking a few paces to the right would have put the first fireman in front of the fire and connected the two halves of the shot, but as you aren't I won't.

The colour of the flames really brings out the intensity of the fire. Sad shot but done beautifully.
