I took this photo, last night, from our back patio. We had just finished a late dinner with our daughter Brandy and our son-in-law Ryan when we heard sirens. The firetrucks were a couple hundred yards behind our house right at the base of the mountain. You could just barely see the smoke but within minutes the whole home was engulfed in flames. I grabbed the 5D and snapped a few quick shots hand held.
