You know, I think the insurance company will believe you, okay? Whatever is going through the minds of people, they need to stop being silly. Why would taking pictures of fire and burning ARTIFACTS ever overshadow anyone's safety. This is not a smart thing to do. I know whoever took this picture was feeling the heat from that fire.


Look at this. The embers are practically falling on the head of this photographer and they haven't left yet !

Agua Dulce Fire Explodes From 500 to 12,500 Acres (click title to entry please)
Mandatory Evacuations Ordered
AGUA DULCE, Oct. 21, 2007 (CNS) - A 12,500-acre brush fire that started near Agua Dulce and forced hundreds of people to flee their homes Sunday night in the Canyon Country area was not expected to be contained for at least five days, Sheriff Lee Baca said.

Four people were reported injured, including a firefighter, authorities said.
No less than seven wildfires were burning in Southern California Sunday night, including near Malibu and Castaic in Los Angeles County and one burning in Irvine in Orange County, prompting Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to proclaim a state of emergency in Los Angeles, Orange and five other counties.
The proclamation allows the state Office of Emergency Services to deploy personnel and equipment to assist in fire fights in the region.
In the Agua Dulce area, some 25 structures have been lost in the wind-driven fire, which is 10 percent contained, a fire official said.
About 900 homes in the Santa Clarita area were without power, but Southern California Edison crews were working through the night to restore electricity, Baca said....
