Fire's Out

I don't have any pictures from the inside of the house (I did get my video though). It could have something to do with the fact that we experienced a flashover upon entering the building. A flashover is a dangerous situation where an intense fire has used up most of the oxygen in a room and when an new oxygen source is offered the fire rushes to the new source. We were just about 10 feet into the house when the flames rushed towards us and over us. I was told later that the temperature of the flames were over 1500 degrees. I was uninjured due to the professional and cool response of the fireman controlling the hose. The only casualty was the melted foam windsock that covered my on-camera microphone.
