That looks like it is going to take a lot of water. Only shots of fire I have are of camp fires.

Nothing like 800-1000 gallons of jet fuel to warm the evening up.

Nice Photos. Easiest way to put out a tire fire in my opinion is a lot of foam.

Natural gas fire. Walking up to the valve between two nozzles on a fog pattern and reaching through to turn the valve off, that was crazy.

Dramatic photos. How about "Well, if you forgot to bring the hotdogs and the marshmallows, let's just put this thing out," for a caption?

That is a cool drill. Fun to take the rookies through. I have to agree about shot #2. That's better than anything you would see in Firehouse Magazine.
