Thanks for all of the comments... It was a mistake not shooting this from a tripod. I tried to handhold for one and half seconds and it produced considerable blur.
This was a spur of the moment shot but if I had used a tripod and a rear curtain sync it may a have produce a more usable image.

Unfortunately, the blurry aspect of this image kept me from even noticing the firefighter while I tried to prepare a comment ... night photos are tough. Overall the image is quite "pink" - due to post-processing?
