ian_white2 0 Posted February 25, 2010 Manuel’s series is an interesting variety of good work. However, when we look at the firefighting shots, I think a North American firefighter would laugh his head off. From a photographic perspective the exposure, the colour, the drama, the composition, are all there, but they are all shots of a training scene with newbies. Fire! looks like a bunch of girls decked in red – no problem with that except their hair seems to be hanging down their backs and likely to catch on fire in a real scenario. Their boots seem to be soft rubber with no tibia protectors. In all the shots of fires their clothing is suspect – no bunker gear, no breathing apparatus, their boots are pathetic. Take a look at Fire!1 their boots look like regular shoes – one guy even has brown shoes. This is not a realistic fire scene – at least to North American eyes. It might reflect on the difference in philosophy regarding attacking fires in burning buildings. In Europe the approach is containment (to stop the spread to adjacent buildings), in North America it is to go inside the burning fire and initially search for people who may still be inside, and then to try and save the structure. The latter requires much better equipment and different technique. Of the series I liked Splash the best, for obvious reasons. Link to comment
