Shed fire Narangba - 04/11/06

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. 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. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

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.

Hi all. Sorry I haven't been around much at all... lots going on keeping me extra busy at the moment.

Apologies for the quality of the photos from this incident. Metering, exposure, and composition are fairly poor. Can't win them all I guess.

At approximately 0145hrs, crews were turned out to the report of a structure fire at Alvisio Crt, Narangba. Upon arrival crews reported two
6x6m sheds containing truck tyres, compressors, and acetylene bottles well involved, and a further 2 pumps and an ET were responded.
Appliances on scene were 525a (Petrie pump), 528a (Cabooture pump), 528b (Caboolture Auxilliary pump), 528k (Caboolture ET), and 528y (Caboolture 4x4 Light Attack).

Again, nice coverage work Mark.

Looking at the time you said this all took place I couldn't help but imagine the thought of getting a call in the early AM, bouncing out of bed eyes half open, grabing the keys and the camera and off to the shoot. Those conditions would definitely impact my ability to nail the shot.

While not your best work I think you have done very well.

Cheers,
Craig

I agree with Craig about the time and the pics. One question: a 4x4 attack vehicle - is this used to blow the structure off the face of the earth if the water has no effect :?: :wink: :lol: :lol:
