Last night our local fire department burnt two houses for a training exercise. The lighting is difficult but I hope you enjoy the shots.
Feel free to C&C and play.

WOW, That's interesting. That's what you call "Hands on" training. I had no clue they actually do that. I'm assuming these houses were to be destroyed anyway?

Yes the homes needed to be destroyed for developement. And yes they do drill like that when they can. As a former volunteer for 12 years I had many such opportunities. Talk about an adrenalin rush.:D
