Fire!

Posted by Jeff (Honolulu, United States) on 9 January 2008 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

This evening a fire broke out in a high rise building in Honolulu. This photograph shows the flames in the window at about the time the fire department arrived with several trucks. Shortly thereafter, the flames engulfed the unit which was approximately eleven stories from ground level. Fire fighters deployed their trucks and fought the fire from within the building. Communications between the ground crew and fire fighters in the building could be heard the whole time. Other than smoke damage, it appears that only this one unit suffered destruction by flames.

This site is the sister of "Aloha Photo" which is a much more extensive photo site and can be viewed at http://alohaphoto.my-expressions.com/index.html. Often images are posted in both places, but aloha photo has been in operation since 2004, so it has many more photographs. If you are interested in Hawaii please feel free to visit my other photoblog.
