Comment by Dennis Hiscock on May 20, 2010 at 6:30pm: with the wind and the flames it wasnt a good combination....my question for the one on the camera there is what was she expecting to happen? fire fighters have to respond and depending on the traffic and distance from the fire station to the scene it could have taken some time to get there....this girl taking the camera has little a poor attitude i think
