    Holy Hell! I'm surprised they could stand being that close to the fire! How horrible it is!

    It's a terrible tragedy. I can't imagine having to be a fire fighter in the middle of that.

    What a truly awesome photo for so many reasons. It is a terrible tragedy as so many have pointed out. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved in this.
