Stills gallery - Grass Fire!
I must have been quite mad on this night. Spotting a rising column of smoke on the distant horizon, above my beloved West Pennine Moors, I decided to drive, hike and jog over to see what I could see. Months later and I'm still coughing from the smoke inhalation! But I got my shots. The fire fighters and countryside rangers trusted me to be wary and I was able to advance right up to the fire's leading edge, although at one point my backpack began to smoulder and I had to role on the floor.
However the shots really captured the feel of the night for me. And the determination of the people who worked long and hard to prevent the flames from overtaking the neighbouring woodlands and farmsteads.
