Up in smoke (and flames)

I was having a picnic at the lake side park when the announcer said someting about a fire. I looked around, saw flames shooting into the air a few hundred feet away, grabbed my camera, kissed the wife, and headed for the fire. I would say that there were three families not having a good day, even though they didn't know it yet. I never got close enough to check, but I'm sure the cars on either side recieved considerable heat damage.

Dramatic image! Surprising clarity of the image, focus crisp and wonderful.

Scary fire. Well done.

Good shot Charles, it is always interesting to see the equipment differences of European organizations like Fire and Police. This looks like some type of a motor coach, they burn so rapidly and so hot.
