Summary

Description
English: A photograph of a major fire.
This photograph was taken during a major fire involving an abandoned convent in Massueville, Quebec, Canada. The fire was so violent that firefighters had to focus their efforts on saving the adjacent church instead of attacking the involved building. This photograph is a good example of what can be done with specialized fire photography, as the public did not have access to this extraordinary point of view and it was necessary to have fire photographer credentials to take pictures from there.
Deutsch: Fotografie eines Großbrandes.

Dieses Foto wurde während eines Großbrandes in einem verlassenen Kloster in Massueville, Quebec, Canada aufgenommen. Das Feuer war so gewaltig, dass die Feuerwehrmänner ihre Bemühungen nicht auf das betroffene Gebäude konzentrierten, sondern auf den Schutz der nebenan stehenden Kirche. Die Aufnahme ist ein gutes Beispiel für die Möglichkeiten von "fire photography". Die Öffentlichkeit hat zu diesem Einsatzort keinen Zugang, nur "fire photographers", Fotografen mit einer speziellen Ausbildung, Zulassung und Schutzausrüstung, können dort Bilder aufnehmen.

Français : Des pompiers luttent contre un gros incendie.
Photo prise durant un incendie majeur survenu dans un couvent abandonné à Massueville, au Québec (Canada). L'incendie a été si violent que les pompiers ont du protéger une église adjacente plutôt que de s'attaquer au bâtiment incendié lui même. Cette photo est un bon exemple de ce que peut faire un fire photographer (photographe incendie), le public n'ayant pas pu accéder à ce très bon point de vue qui n'était accessible qu'à des personnes autorisées.
