Controlled Burn?

In what is termed a "Controlled Fire" this farm house burns to the ground.


Out back, tires burn and release a thick black smoke.

Finally the house is fully engulfed in flames. Moments later, the house fell to a pile of burning embers. The farmer seemed pissed off that we called 9-1-1, but when you see a house on fire and no one around, it hardly seems like a "controlled burn". I ran through a rain-soaked, muddy field to get these shots. It was strange getting that close to a fire, I could feel the heat on my face and didn't feel the rain at all. Maybe I was too close, but I got the shots. That's what counts.
