18 Wheeler Crash and Fire in Fairview today. ( pic heavy ) - 04-02-2011, 09:15 PM

Critique: NC:

I was fortunate enough to have my camera with me when this occurred. Fox 4 used these in the 9 0 clock news tonight and the Dallas morning News might use them tomorrow...

Thanks to everyone who have helped me get to this point!

The upload quality from word press takes some of the quality away...

Check it out

Great job and the explosions you heard were most likely the tires blowing.

Good overall coverage. Would have been nice to have more flame shots like #'s 6,7 & 8. Perhaps even tighter shots.

TV loves flames. (This comment come from someone who freelanced for ABC affiliate for 10 years.) Fortunately, they have gotten away from the, "If it bleeds, it leads" mentality.
Sometimes it's tough to get the shots you would like to get simply because you can't get around something, over a fence, or they won't let you any nearer...
Keep up the efforts!
