Saw this around lunchtime on the Bush TPK. The cab was completely engulfed in flames when I first saw it, but by the time I could pull over and get my camera out, they were getting it under control. I usually don't keep gear in my car due to the theft issue, but I shot an event Sat, and happened to have it handy. --------------------------- thomasmanchester.com To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often. -Sir Winston Churchill |

On the front page of their webpage (DallasNews.com), there is a menu option named "Photos/Video". Under there there is an option named "View/Submt Your Photos". That's where I submitted one a few years ago that got used. - Wil --------------------------- Portrait Site: www.ParkImaging.com Commercial Site: www.DallasCommercialPhoto.com flickr |

I found it. Thanks. Probably won't get used, but I doubt I'm sitting on a copyright goldmine on this one. (You have to give it up when you submit it.) That was just West of Josey Lane at about 11:45 today. --------------------------- thomasmanchester.com To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often. -Sir Winston Churchill |

That is a great shot. You might even see if the fire department wants a copy. You might be able to find the exact company/station using the firefighter's name visible on his coat. |

Wow. I'm often tempted to lug the camera around with me on my work commute but fear theft as well but it really paid off here! |
