Blaze flattens Ayer lumber yard

071127-Moore Lumber fire-157
Typical... last night there was a five alarm fire in my town. The problem was, I was driving back from Pennsylvania and the fire fighters had the fire 'knocked down' by the time I got there.

More typical... is the fact that instead for shooting what little action there was putting the rest of the fire out. I took pictures of things relating to ICS (
Incident Command System).
