Nice reportage shots of the incident.

thanks terminator... they could have been alot better however i was just too late ... made the most of what I could.

I've always felt the same way, however I got to chat with a few of the residents and they were really great people! blew my stereotype out of the water and made me feel quite guilty about my preconceived thoughts...

cheers

thanks Rel....

not sure.. i've been trying to find...

none were sounding when I arrived... which theoretically should have still been going. also, the fact that the off-duty police officer woke them up and got them out of the house makes you wonder.

Saw this on the news this morning. Good thing no one was hurt too severely in the fire. Reporter said an off duty fireman or police officer was going by and noticed the fire and rescued the occupants. Unless I remembered the wrong story :oops:

Great PJ pics as usual X!
