Fire at Work, or Fireworks / 4 July 05

My son and I went out for breakfast this morning and while we had our meal the stove suddenly was aflame. I took this picture, before we realized that this would shortly after spin out of controll. Moments later, all of us were standing outdoors, as the fires licked the interior walls above the stove. Gas smell was prevelant and still no firetruck in side. I took my son and left, noting later on a firetruck to be before the establishment. Breakfast was free, but I rather pay and do not see that type of ..fire at works...

Never underestimate the value of keeping a fire extinguisher on the premises.

Wow...that fire looks like it's pretty much out of control already!
Glad everyone's ok.
A good photog is one who's always ready. :)

Sweet. You are like that girl on the Sony/StevenTyler commercial. Everyone is in a rush, Susanne is calm and collected, snapping away.

oops! I hope somebody reacts soon, because it looks like a normal occurrence!

Good reflexes Susanne, ever thought about photo journalism? :-)

A little more excitement than you bargained for. How great you had your camera with you!
