Street Scene during the Para Rubber fire
Street Scene during the Para Rubber fire
Interesting middle of street scene, background of other building along the street and on the corners of Cashel and Manchester Streets, watching crowds, background greyed out amongst the smoke contrasted in the foreground by the brighter dark colours of the firefighters and the open doors of engine, the fire insignia evident on an open door. A couple of flat hoses are not yet charged (filled with water), firefighters are likely to be setting these up. Different colours of helmets evident indicate different ranks, the white helmet may indicate seniority.
