Excellent capture. Thanks for sharing such a dramatic photo. How did you get so close?

What a powerful shot. Somehow saying "good job" or something similar doesn't seem appropriate because of the devastation that had to take place in order to capture such a photo.

I agree with the others and can't think of any better words than dramatic and powerful to describe this. It accomplishes what a good photograph is supposed to -- it makes you think and it makes you feel. By the way. I hope you were using a zoom lens for this shot...not a nice place to get too close to. :)

There are three colours, Ten digits and seven notes, its what we do with them that’s important.

That is a fantastic shot. It really captures the lengths these heros go thru to help - the ice on the overturned chair and the steam really sing of how cold it is, but hes out there anyways. A great shot of a great subject - keep it up!

I don't know how I missed this one. I agree with Marideath, this is what cameras were invented for. A ten for photography and emotion.

Reminds me deeply of the World Trade Center incident. Great picture, inspiring and humble.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
real talent is realized when normal is made beautiful.
A very dramatic and powerful shot. It brings back memories from my youth when I was a volunteer fireman. Well done and a 10 from me.

Just saw this in the VB. I think it's very good, but would like to see it in B/W. I think it would be even better.

I love the contrast between the fire that had just occurred and how quickly the Ice took over! Powerful image! Kudos to you!

A photo tribute.
I've been in his situation. The cold is numbing and the smell of wet, burn wood permeates every pore on your body. At the end you just ache. He will live to fight another fire. It appears that he bested this one.

Sometimes we must get hurt in order to grow, we must fail in order to know. sometimes our visions only clear after our eyes are washed away with Tears
Great photojournalism! Very dramatic and moving.

I just wanted to thank all of you for posting here. Although many years have passed since I put this picture on the site, I still visit often. As a police officer, I have had opportunities to see things that most could not possibly imagine. Perhaps I will submit more in the near future and share what we do. Our work is often exciting, yet heart breaking when we see how good people suffer during tragedy.

As a Police Officer, I have many opportunities to capture unique pictures. I like to share the world from my eyes with hopes that others can see what we do.
Such a poignant shot. It is nice to recognize the everyday heroes in their element. Excellent post.
