7 January 2011: Fire

A couple of co-workers and I went to Anadarko, Oklahoma, to pick up some pictures. On the way back we spotted a terrible and heart-wrenching fire taking place off Hwy 62 near Chickasha, Oklahoma, on one of the county roads. Fire trucks and EMTs were screeching down the road to the fire. It moved quickly and the energetic wind gusts certainly didn't help stop it. I shot this picture to include the sky to show the cloud of smoke in contrast with the partly cloudy and sunny blue sky. Very sad event. I am hopeful that all persons and animals on the property survived unharmed.
