Fire on I-5 near Salem, OR
This was the least of this fire, the firefighters stayed back and let most of the fuel burn off before they approached. Which in part they were forced to because the grass next to the truck caught and the the trees went shortly thereafter

First Impressions Good photojournalism and capture. I'm thinking Road Photography (maybe a different Challenge idea). The spirit of Street Photography is not so strong in this image for me, but it is somewhat borderline.
Photograph Information, Technicals & Composition Review Composition is quite sound, although the image looks like it may benefit from a slight nudge rotate up on the left. Again, difficult because of the Challenge, but maybe cropping in a little tighter would have removed more of the rural feel.
Comments, Score & Placement Review 15/135 is very good for this Challenge. The one comment that seemed to have the Challenge at the fore of their mind you didn't find helpful, which makes me wonder whether you were aspiring to awe the voters with the capture rather than meeting the Challenge. Given your score, placement and most of the comments, it seems you did that well.
Summary Again, good capture but not Street Photography enough for me. Maybe more context (despite my crop comment above) may have given this more for this Challenge, if you had it and wanted to evoke that feel in your image.
Thanks for the comments everyone! 90th percentile!
I've been working my way up with each submission, so hopefully I'll be able to get top three sometime!
