Tragedy On the Next Street

My wife called me at work and was worried because she smelled smoke. She looked outside and saw the house on the next street on fire and heard sirens. I heard the one resident got out, but a beam fell on a fire fighter( heroes) hope he is okay! This is a warning to watch space heaters, as I hear it might be the cause. I will post other shots in other albums

What a tragedy for someone to lose their home in this weather. Your picture really captures the feeling of an dire situation.

I hate to say this is a great photo because of the tragedy, but it is a great street photo and shows real life!! Prayers for the people that lived in it and the fire fighter that the beam fell on!! FAV!

Great capture of the tragedy. At least nobody seems to have got hurt.

I do like pictures with a purpose and a story and this ticks both boxes. Very sad, but an excellent capture of a real-life situation.

Difficult time of the year, people trying to keep their houses warm, trying to heat frozen pipes - hope all are OK

Firemen are all hero's for what they do, one of my nephews is a fireman and he has seen things that most of us wouldn't want to see. Neat capture.
