That's what they call it when a structure is unequivocally on fire, which this house was.
Being the first house fire I've covered, and being that it was particularly photogenic, I am struck by how bizarre it is that this house fire, which was almost certainly the worst day in at least three people's lives, can be at the same time so undeniably aesthetic and dramatic. I think there's a book to be written about this dilemma.

Note to sticklers: these photos are basically how they came out of the camera. That's how it looked, no saturation or crazy retouching involved.

Neat! I like how the destruction is total on the left and almost non-existent by the time you get to the right. Plus, nothing like a raging inferno to bring out those colors.
This also reminds me I need to update my renter's insurance...
