I have shown images of our fire services in action before. but yet again I will showcase the dangerous work they  do.

These are a series of images from a very recent major fire on George Street. George Street is known as one of the lesser desirable  areas of the city to live in, and the reasons are justified. The street is filled with vacant building that double as crack houses, drug labs and squatting sites. The fire that took place was discovered to be an arson fire . These series of buildings are owned by the same person from what i was told. The interesting thing here is that the very previous afternoon, i was told that there was a city inspector, and a fire marshal / inspector who order these buildings boarded up as a safety hazard. Yet, twelves hours later, these very same buildings  " just happen " to catch fire. I arrived as the fire wa pretty much extinguished  save for a few hot spots. I would also like to thank the officers on site who  had put up a safety  zone , to allow me to take these awesome shots .

Here are some of the images from the fire .
