I wasn't sure if this was "field" or "street" or "nature" or what. But there was a fire in the hills just across the street from my house (and ironically directly behind the local fire station). I took a few shots. I currently smell like a human BBQ :huh

Just as the firefighters arrived from the other side of the hill

A videographer/pizza delivery man embarrassedly removed the Domino's sign from his car after a short discussion with the smiling police officer

The first wave of firefighters works the line

A second wave of firefighters waits to cross the street towards the hill

One of several water drops

Within 15 minutes, the fire was out. :clap

    Very nice sequence of shots! I'm glad it was put out so quickly. Looking to be a bad fire season this year.

    Very nice! Thanks for sharing. :D My fire crew is waiting for an expected order to head south any moment now, since our fire season is over and everyone else is just getting started. Will have to post up when I return!
