First Alarm Restaurant Fire (in HDR)

The gods of fire Chasing looked favorably on me today (or did they). I heard this call while on the way to pick up some equipment, as usual it was way on the other side of town. I picked up the equipment and was heading to my destination when I heard that the fire had gone to a first alarm. On the way to the scene the fire fighters were reporting problems with water pressure. Since it was on my way I stopped by. The building was a restaurant that was being refurbished. When I arrived most of the roof had collapsed it appears that the fire was being fought defensively it had been burning for more than 40 minutes by this time. There were Scottsdale and Tempe apparatus on scene I don't remember if there was any Phoenix Fire Department there. I couldn't stay long. Unfortunately many of my pictures were slightly blurred I believe there is a problem with my 300mm zoom lens. Here are the good pics:
