Some of the most dangerous and exciting things I've covered as a news photographer have been fires. And I've been to some pretty big ones in my career.
Fires can be dangerous because of things like live wires, falling walls and explosions.
Firefighters have rescued me several times over the years from situations I got myself into. I remember the time I was in a fenced-in backyard at a big house fire. Suddenly, live wires were down all around me. The wires were draped over the fence, making it electric. They told me to stay put and got me out as soon as they could.
