You're Fired

I saw some fire on my way back to the hotel so I stopped and snapped some shots. I was there before the firefighters and managed to get in a good position to take photos. As it grew more out of control and started jumping around, the fire department started to arrive. The truck with the firehose and water pump wasn't there yet so one fireman began hosing off the perimeter with a garden hose while the homeowner was pointing out new spots of flame. Kinda surreal. The lesson here is to use the tools you've got to get the job done.

3 other companies arrived to assist in fighting the blaze and they quickly contained the fire before it spread to the highway and several houses in line. It was a debris fire that spread to a field and bank of trees because of strong winds today.
