Burning Down The House

At the weekend our neighbours enlisted the local fire brigades to burn down an old house on their property. A couch was set alight to get things started and the fire took hold of the house in an incredibly short time. A vivid reminder to us all of the importance of having smoke alarms in houses.
I am, as always, in awe of firemen and the risks they take in their work. A truly amazing and yet very frightening morning!
I managed to capture the progress of the fire, but cannot do justice to the blistering heat it created.
