NOTES
The gas company was NOT at the house, it was at another house.
A neighbor rescued one of the two trapped. Both residents got out.
House was fully involved when police got there 4 to 5 minutes after dispatch.
I got there around 6 to 8 minutes after dispatch.
Now for the photos...

Great pics! What in the world are those guys doing on that porch in photos 3 and 7 (from the top)?!? That house is gone, should be a surround and drown from far away!

You said it, I just thought it.

Awesome shots and the place was rolling. Any vertical you have of the first few shots would be a cover guaranteed.

I was thinking the same thing but didn't want to start a tactics war. I hope they asked themselves "What are we doing here?" The IC should have pulled them out of there. The risk:benefit ratio is way off.
