This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

At approximately 0945 QFRS crews were turned out to the report of a boarding house fire on Cornwall St, Annerley. Upon arrivals, crews reported a 2 story timber 40x10m boarding house half involved with cars underneath. On scene were 501a (Kemp Place Pump), 501b (Kemp Place Pump), 501t (FCU), 503a (Annerley Pump), 517a (Mt Gravatt Pump), 517k (Mt Gravatt ET), 850o (BA Hazmat), BO11 (SOC), and FIU.

All persons were accounted for and one female was taken to hospital with smoke inhalation.

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! :D
