As the Fire Depts. photographer I am able to get up close to the action and this shot was taken at 7:45 in the evening at a live burn training using only the natural light that was available.
The only editing to this photo was cropping.

Good action capture. I hope you were using a telephoto and weren't as close as it looks like!! Unless you are a fireman with a camera in the helmet, and that might be kinda cool. . . .
Cool shot - but nothing really seems to be sharp in focus - that's the only thing that I see that could have been better. everything has a slight blur to it.
excellent action action shot, and must have been tough to shoot as it must have been very hot. I would have liked to have seen the front of a mask, but I can also see how that is not possible. I am sure you will remember this shoot for a long time.
I really hope this wasnt your own house. As for the photo itself, its one of those shots that you cannot pose or manipulate to your liking, yet you captured the scene well. Nice shot.
interesting how they have their names on their helmets .. i wonder if that's if a building collapses and they have to identify them .. its a great shot ... the interior of the house all aflame and the spray of water going in is brilliant .. great capture .. :)
Terrific photojournalistism shot. Perhaps not something you would print out and put up on your wall however I could see this in a newspaper or a magazine.
Nice tribute to the brave souls who risk their lives daily to protect us. How did you ever get this close? It could be a long lens, but the 6.2mm in the EXIF data doesn't make sense to me.
Wow this really puts you right in the action. I like that it is very natural lighting and not overly processed. It is just firefighting in its raw form.
