Follow up to Strange Calls

This is some of the pictures of the fire that happened at my fiance' job, (read strange calls for further info). Our truck prior to him moving it, was sitting about 20 feet if that away from he little front door of the shop, the car right beside our truck (that was closest to the shop) had melted head lights, and their tires were melting, which gives you an idea of just how hot this fire got in a short amount of time. Let me know what you think, these pictures were taken with a cell phone so not the best but better than most, also the pictures go backwards, so to see the beginning of the fire just start at the bottom of this post and go up. Thanks again for visiting come back anytime

In this picture you can see into the shop, if you look close you'll notice the front grill of a diseal, that was a complete truck, it's now sitting on its' frame, along with a work truck that had been purchased only a few months prior to this fire, both of which were total losses.
This is the outcome, looking at the damage that was done to the building, obviously a total loss

Notice in the picture the two guys walking, the one in the gray shirt will be putting water in his truck and blasting it onto the fire momentarily, this is when the fire trucks ran out of water, and asked the works to load their trucks and reverse the flow to blow back the water onto the fire.
This is pretty self-explanatory, its just the fire and rescue team
This is another angle to show just how bad the fire got, on the other side of that black diseal truck is tanks, tanks full of diseal. The idea at the moment was not just stop the fire, prevent it from reaching the diseal.

Here is another shot, you can see the third door with black soot around it, it's the office that was where the guy Tony who was watching the shop and first to discover the fire was at, prior to going into the shop room to see what was happening.

My fiance' first seen black smoke and thought it was a small amish store, that was until he seen the amish store wasn't on fire and then knew it was his job. This picture is of what he seen first when he arrived at the yard after moving our truck, if you look close, you can see theres a small door with fire in it, next to the garage door with lots of fire. Our truck was about 20 feet from that door prior to him moving it, the car beside it had melted head lights, and it's tires had began to melt as well.
