No sooner than I finished editing my other fire photos when I received a call/alarm early this morning from the 911 Dispatch Center for a structure fire. These are some photos from this fire which occurred at 3:20 am last night.
Z9, 24-70mm 2.8 S, auto-ISO, average shooting speed 1/80 - 1/100sec @ 4.0-5.6, temp: 25 degrees. I might add, my camera had icicles around the lens and body but never had any problems with the camera functioning. If you notice in the 1st image, upon arrival I tried to frame the opening scene as a prelude to what I was about to photograph. On the far left you see a woman in a red jacket. On the far right, you see the firefighters on scene. The fire engine is angled towards the right. Hopefully drawing the viewers eye towards the action. All comments are welcome !!
docphoto, Does not make me wish I were ever a firefighter! Excellent posting and appreciated. Glad your camera did not lock up.
Outstanding compositions with great exposures.
Sad subject but great set of photos.
I agree with Landshadow! Your post processing is definitely a thumbs up!

Looks like an empty house, but might not be. were there other structures that were endangered by the fire?

No, the house to the left was sprayed and fortunately did not catch fire. Thank you for your comment.
Outstanding set of photos. I really like #3. Keep up the great work.
