Xenia's Finest

I sometimes do some photojournalism work for the local newspapers. The image in today's post is not from one of those times but it could have been if I had submitted the images to them. I was just to busy to make the time to give them the images from this shoot. This building is across the street from where I work and when I got the call that a building was on fire I had to go and see it for myself. Of course before I could go I had to get my camera, lucky for me I live where I work so my camera was close by. I grabbed my camera and was on the site in time to get quite a few images. This fire is nothing in comparison to the first fire that I had the opportunity to photograph, which was probably the biggest and worst fire I will ever have an opportunity to shoot. If you look close enough you can see some small flames at the point where the roof is damaged. This building is attached to another building that is part of a historical pickle packaging factory. Unfortunately the building was lost to the fire but thankfully the rest of the structures were not affected. I credit Xenia's fine fire department for saving the remaining structures.
