It was. The first picture was taken with the normal lens and gives you an idea of how far away I was standing, and even at that distance, it was hot enough that you didn't want to stand directly in front of it for more than a few minutes.

I would expect your eyebrows to be fire-retarded.

Why didn't they just tear them down instead of risking the forest going up?

I'm surprised Lam didn't park his car somewhere nearby and shot it with the burning house backdrop.

Now that, would be a shot for the Photo Critique thread.
Alas, I doubt Lammy would put his precious Ford next to a burnng cigarette, let lone a full-on blaze from a camp cabin.

Actually, a few of those shots would have gotten favorable critiques in the Photo Critique thread. But now my attitude is influenced by the Ford...

Touche'
But seriously, your composition on these shots was much better than your recent car shots. Perhaps it is the fact that you are using the viewfinder instead of the LCD screen which assisted you. And a building on fire is a lot more interesting than a 10 year old Ford. Admit it.

Admitted.
edit: Oh, and my car was built on March 14th of 1999, so it's only 9 years and 5 months old.

Comparable to a California wildfire. You could see it from space.

Oh, and feel free to let me know which pictures you liked.
It's be nice to know I can do SOMETHING right...

Great shots!
On photo no. 3, what's that thing sticking up from the fireman's neck up to the right of his head? Do the firemen over there come with built in cameras?

That's what I was wondering, if they have wireless cameras.

A bit of diesel fuel and a couple hours did the work of a whole crew of people and a couple days. The cabins had been water damaged and were full of black mold - anything salvageable had been removed and anything left would have been contaminated. And those two building are in a pretty good sized clearing, just a couple trees around the location I was taking pictures from, and a couple trees behind.

My guess is flashlight, but none of my other pictures reveal anything...revealing.

While it might have been "cost and time effective" where you are, burning anything down around here, EVEN AFTER the tropical storms and associated rains we've had, would definitely be a NO GO. I'd be interested in where the diesel fuel went before stuff was set on fire; I'd have poured the stuff all over the black mold to make sure it "died in the fire" before anything else.
