Fire (con't) (#127)

Ok, I was mistaken last night. This is the image that ran dominant on today's front page. Here are some facts about the fire:

The firemen arrived on the scene a little before 8:30 p.m. last night.

The house was over 15,000 sq. feet and was valued at over $1 million.

Two people were treated for smoke inhalation, the owner of the house and his young daughter.

This image ran secondary in black and white on the jump page.

FIRE (#126)

At approximately 8:50 this evening, I got a call from my fellow Lima intern, Jay. Fire. Address. I grabbed shoes, my cameras and ran. I could see the smoke over a mile away. I got to the scene and there was still a house. When I left, there wasn't.

About 10 minutes after I got to the scene, the fire chief pulled me aside and said, "You're gonna get more pictures than you'll even need on this one. This one's going to the ground." The above photo was chosen for dominant art on the front of tomorrow's Lima News. The following are a few of hundreds of photos I took at the scene.
